Monument to Orange, Odessa

The Monument to Orange is one of the most interesting and funniest monuments in Odessa. It was built in honor of the 210th anniversary of Odessa and has a captivating history. Paul I didn’t want to begin construction of the marine trade port in Odessa, so when the city’s residents found out about it, they sent him carts with oranges (the emperor’s favorite fruits). After such an original gift, Paul I contributed the money for the building of the port.
