In 1824, the young architect Toricelli came from Lugano to Odessa. He gave Odessa a city plan, a merchant exchange building and two bazaars. Starokonyushenny and the second here on the site of this square. While in Odessa, do not forget to try the hodgepodge and heartlet with onions and sunflower oil. Translated with Google Translate
This walk around the city is a little reckless. Maybe this is her charm and maybe this is what she echoes the spirit of those places through which she passes. One could say from bazaar to bazaar. From the Old Stables Market to the Old Bazaar Square. Both of them were built as bazaars by the young architect Torricelli, whom fate brought to Odessa at the beginning of the 19th century from Lugano. The first bazaar flourishes to this day. The second has long been gone. The first grows every Saturday and Sunday like a snowball and becomes the largest flea market in eastern Europe. The second one will please only a small tavern with a herring and a hodgepodge. And between them? Between them, the house is the apartment of the most famous Odessa citizen - Leonid Osipovich Utesov.
