13. House-wall
An unusual architectural structure is located on Primorsky Boulevard. If you look at the building from a certain angle, it will seem to you that the house has no side walls. The original effect is created due to the triangular layout of the structure. Another name for the attraction is the Witch's House.
14. House of Falz-Fein
The building, decorated with sculptures of the Atlanteans, on whose shoulders the vault of heaven rests, is considered one of the most beautiful architectural objects of the city. The sculptures are not bas-reliefs, they are separate elements. In previous years, the house was the property of the wealthy Falz-Fein family.

The museum complex, which began its work in 1923, carefully stores art objects from the collections of the Hermitage of St. Petersburg, the Kyiv Museum and private expositions. The samples belong to various ancient eras.

18. Odessa catacombs
Not far from the city, in the settlement of Nerubayskoye, there are legendary catacombs, a couple of tens of kilometers long. They were notorious for their intricacies, among other things. This is a real artificially created underground labyrinth, the temperature in which never exceeds +14 degrees. Celsius. In the ornate tunnels, shell rock was mined, which is used to build most of the buildings in the city, in addition, partisans took refuge here. If you do not know what to see in Odessa in 1 day, but want to turn your trip into a real adventure, come here.
19. Teschin Bridge
The highest pedestrian bridge in the city. The construction connects the Brzozovsky and Vorontsovsky palaces. Why does the attraction have such an unusual name? The fact is that its construction was carried out at the direction of M. Sinitsa. The head of the city regional committee often went to pancakes to his mother-in-law, who lived on the opposite side of the descent from his work. Of course, this is just an urban legend. Mother-in-law's holiday is organized annually on Teschiny Bridge. Romantic couples come here to hang a lock and throw the keys into the sea, believing that this will help them keep strong feelings.
20. Monument to the sailor's wife
The sculpture is made in the form of a young woman with a child in her arms. The memorial complex was built over 15 years ago on the Odessa embankment in honor of the sailors who failed to return home from the battles. Despite the fact that the size of the monument is relatively small, this attraction has become one of the most favorite gathering places for tourists.
