About Vorontsov Palace
The Vorontsov Palace in Odessa is a historic 19th-century building at the end of Prymorskyi Boulevard. Built between 1827 and 1830, it served as the residence of the Russian Governor-General Mikhail Vorontsov. The Sardinian architect Francesco Boffo designed the ensemble, which originally consisted of the main building, a colonnade, stables, and two lion statues. The palace was built on the site of the former Turkish fortress of Khadjibey. Over the years, the building served a variety of purposes, including as an engineering school, as headquarters of the Red Guard, and as a children's palace. Today only the front section of the original complex survives, while the Orlov Wing has been demolished. Since 1994, the courtyard has been home to the "Day and Night" fountain.
