Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Sosyura Park

Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Sosyura Park is a central park of Odessa.nAccording to the preserved plan of the architect Boffo from 1840, a park should have been laid out at this place. The trees, obviously, were planted, since the terrain on the plans of the city of the middle of the XIX century was designated as “The Serf Garden”, but they were not cared for; the garden was wild and had notoriety. This was facilitated, obviously, by the fact that the land was listed according to the military department and the city did not belong. Only on September 7, 1875, the park was finally opened, and on September 10 it was named Aleksandrovsky, in honor of the visit to Odessa by Emperor Alexander II, who, on the occasion of the opening of the park, personally planted an oak tree in it
