The Crimea is a wonderful,fantastic peninsula full of leg-ends and tales. Do not try to

nd two similar places here everyone is unique and really amazing.

One of the Crimean legends says thatafter the world creation the God had afew steppes, forests, mountains, rivers,lakes, seas on hand. He poured it all outon a small area on the Earth. In such

a way appeared this amazing oasis withforest reserves, boundless Black sea,steppes and elds, mountains and saltlakes, as well as architectural and literarymemorials. The whole life is not enoughto get acquainted with the Crimea.Khan palaces, fortresses, ruins of ancienttowns, settlements of ancient people, re-serves, caves and waterfalls Every place

here possesses its own nature and uniquearchitecture. There are lots of places worthseeing in the Crimea. You wont remain in-different after an excursions to one of thefamous palaces-museums: Swallows nest,Livadia, Alupka (Vorontsov), Massandraand Bakhchisaray Palaces, many museum-houses. Crimean nature is picturesque andveri ed. One trip to the Crimea will not be

enough to visit a small part of all the won-

ders of the peninsula. Coastal complexes,valleys, canyons, capes, caves, grottos,stone ranges, forests, small woods, lakes,waterfalls, mud deposits these are not allthe natural resources of the Crimea.

It is certainly worth seeing in theCrimea: Picture Gallery named after

Aivazovskiy in Feodosija, Nikitskiy Bo-tanical Garden, Great Canyon of theCrimea, Ai-Petri-mountain, Marble andKrasnaja (red) caves, the residence of Russian poet M.Voloshin in Koktebel,Genoese fortress in Sudak.Come to the Crimea in summer to sun-bath and swim!Come here in early autumn to feel thecharm of the velvet season.Come here in late autumn to go alongthe deserted embankment, breath in

rough spray of the waves dashing atyour feet, admire the leaden-coloredsea and feel the touch of ages.Come here in winter to take pleasurefrom the even green parks of the southcoast.Come here in spring to become ab-sorbed into magni cent blooming of paradise garden.

DERIBASSOVSKAYA STREETDeribasovskaya street is the legendary pedestrian street in the heart of Odessaand one of the main sights of the city. The name (originally Italian La strada Ribas)the street got in honour of Jose de Ribas on the location of his house on this streetwhere he lived and then his brother Felix de Ribas. It is located parallel to twostreets. There is the rst park in Odessa which was built in 1803 shortly after found-

ing of the city by brothers Jose and Felix de Ribas. In 1806 Felix gave to the city aplot of a land that became the rst city garden. Since middle of 2006 the garden citywas under restoration and in May 2007 was reopened to visitors.The park had a singing fountain, a round covered stage had been restored wherepresentations of symphonic orchestras took place.

Also the park is known for its monuments: some of them have become the symbolsof Odessa. This is a monument to the lion and lioness with lions whelps, the monu-ment The Twelfth chair established in the honour of the book Twelve Chairs, amonument to Leonid Utesov and a monument to the pilot and athlete of the begin-ning of XX century Sergey Utochkin.

ODESSA CATACOMBSOdessa catacombs are a network of underground tunnels and labyrinths under Odes-sa. Most of the catacombs are the former quarries from which building stone is ex-tracted. Nowadays the length of the Odessa catacombs is about 2,5 thousands km.

At the end of the XX century the catacombs had caused a dramatic complication of engineering geologic conditions of the city. More than 40% of the old city is situatedin the territory under which mines were. Most (95-97%) of Odessa catacombs areunderground quarries where the limestone was extracted which was used for buildingof the city.The rst underground quarries began to emerge in the rst half of the XIX centuryduring rapid construction of Odessa as a source of inexpensive building materials limestone. The extraction of stones was carried using the saws and was so intense thatin the second half of the XIX century a vast network of underground cavities becameinconvenient to the city. After the revolution the extraction of the limestone on the ter-ritory of the city was prohibited because many buildings of the city began to collapse.During the Great Patriotic War the catacombs served as a refuge for the Soviet parti-sans. There is the information about 1,7 thousands square kilometers of undergroundcavities.At the beginning of the XXI century limestone mining continues in mines located in

Dolinovka, Buldynka and Fomin girder. Thus the length of the Odessa catacombs isgrowing to this day.

The Voronsov lighthouse is located on the tip of the Karantinny (now Raid) pier in the portof Odessa on the Black Sea. It meets the rst and see off the last ships coming in Odessa.In the history of the Odessa port is seen the dynasty of the Vorontsov lighthouses. Theysucceeded each other improving and reconstructing as the extension and construction of moles was going on.The rst lighthouse built in Odessa in 1815. It was opened in 1827 when there was prince

Vrontsov and it was called after his name.The Vorontsov lighthouse was the iron tower with a graceful lighthouse from Paris. Versesand prose, photographs and lms badges and postcards of the Vorontsov lighthouse haveturned it into a symbol of Odessa.

ANCiENT ROvENSHCHiNA

Rovno is more then seven centuries old.There are both happy and sad pagesin the history of this old Ukrainian city.

The buildings of Rovno caught terriblere many times, but nobody managed

to annihilate the town. Hard-workinginhabitants rebuilt the destroyed townagain and again. Modern Rovno is anadministrative and economic centre of the oblast (province) being a part of in -dependent Ukraine. Take a tour to Rovnoand acquaint yourself with its historical

and architectural memorials.

History of Ljubomirskis estate comesback to the beginning of the XVIII cen -tury when Stanislav Ljubomirskiy decid-ed to erect a palace on an island in themiddle of a huge lake.

The Ljubomirskis lived in the estate till

1836. In 1838 they handed it over to agymnasium for the use. But the head of the gymnasium declined the generousgift because of lacking money for main-tenance of such a big building.

At the beginning of XX century the palacebecame a place for fallen-in-love people.They came here to make a declarationof love. Theatre plays were performedand dancing balls were given here.

In 1927 a heavy re de -stroyed the palace.

One of the remarkable land-marks of the city is the St.Resurrection Cathedral. The St. ProtectionChurch is amazingly beautiful and ma-

jestic. It is decorated with 13 big cupolassymbolizing Jesus Christ and 12 apostles.Really worth seeing in Rovno is thou-sand-years old Ostrog (stockaded town)with prominent memorials the Ostrogs

Castle and Academy. A real masterwork of forti cation art is the castle contain -ing four main buildings: the living anddefensive tower Bashnja Vozvedenna-

ja, Bogojavlenskaja Church, the Newtower and the Bell tower (was built lat -er). From the town forti cations of Os -trog have been reserved Tatarskaja andLutskaja towers. The last one takes a

special place between architectural me-morials of Ostrog. The museum of old-printed books is located here now days.Thanks to the rst Ukrainian academy(Ostrozhskaja) Rovno was given theproud name Ukrainian Athens. Nation-al University Ostrozhskaja Academy is one of a few historical monumentswhich answers its initial purpose untilnow - education of patriotic and reallymoral Ukrainian elite.
