Odessa is the city of Ekaterina the Great with more than 200 years of history. The unique mix of different minorities beautifully colored the most important seaport of the Russian Empire on the Black Sea. It quickly became a trade center and the cultural bridge between eastern and western Europe. At the beginning of the ancient greek naval expansion in the fifth century BC, the small-settlement on the northern shore of the Black sea became a vital trade and cultural center. For centuries the influence of the byzantine empire played an important role and shaped the spirit of the sea-shore settlements until the ottomans established their control over the region. Ekaterina - the great successor of Peter the Great, conquered the ottoman's town and opened the southern borders of the Russian Empire to the Mediterranean sea. She invited great politicians, merchants, traders, and architects from France to build the pearl of the crown of the Russian Empire on the Black Sea, and life began to flourish in Odessa. Since then, the city shaped its style, made the incredible atmosphere of domestic traditions, and the concept of Odessa was created.
