General information about Ovidiopol

Ovidiopol, a city-type settlement, is located on the banks of the Dniester estuary, 30 kilometers northwest of Odesa.

It was founded in 1793 by commander Oleksandr Suvorov on the site of the destroyed Turkish fortress Khadzhyder as an outpost to protect the entrance to the Dniester from the Black Sea. At the same time, a small harbor was built on the Dniester estuary, which served as a transshipment point for goods transported by the Dniester and the Black Sea to Odesa.

In 1795, by decree of Empress Catherine II, the city was named Ovidiopol in honor of the ancient Roman poet Ovid, who supposedly lived here (in fact, Ovid died in exile in Tomas, on the territory of present-day Constanta in Romania).

In 1795, by decree of Empress Catherine II, the city was named Ovidiopol in honor of the ancient Roman poet Ovid, who supposedly lived here (in fact, Ovid died in exile in Tomas, on the territory of present-day Constanta in Romania).

Favorable geographical position, availability of land and waterways, proximity to Odesa, fertile lands - all this contributed to the rapid growth of the city's population. In 1823, the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built. In 1895, the city branch of the Imperial Orthodox Water Rescue Society was opened and the "Saint and Wonderworker Nicholas" rescue station was consecrated.

A monument to Ovid has been installed in the park on the embankment. The tasting room is open.

Селище мського типу Овідіополь розташоване на березі Дністровського лиману в 30 кілометрах на північний захід від Одеси.

Засноване в 1793 році полководцем Олександром Суворовим на місці зруйнованої турецької фортеці Хаджидер як форпост для захисту входу в Дністер з Чорного моря. Одночасно на Дністровському лимані побудували невеличку гавань, яка служила перевалочним пунктом для вантажів, що перевозяться Дністром і Чорним морем до Одеси.

В 1795 році указом імператриці Катерини II місто було назване Овідіополем на честь давньоримського поета Овідія, який нібито відбував тут посилання (насправді, Овідій помер на засланні в Томах, що на території нинішньої Констанци в Румунії).

Вигідне географічне положення, наявність сухопутних і водних шляхів, близькість до Одеси, родючі землі - все це сприяло швидкому зростанню населення міста. В 1823 році побудовано церкву Святого Миколая Чудотворця. В 1895 році відбулося відкриття міського відділу імператорського православного товариства порятунку на водах та освячена рятувальна станція "Святитель і чудотворець Миколай".

В сквері на набережній встановлено пам'ятник Овідію. Працює дегустаційна зала.

Ovid Monument

Monument

The monument to the ancient Roman poet Publius Ovidius Nazon, known in English as Ovid, in whose honor Ovidiopol is named, is located in a picturesque place on the banks of the Dniester estuary.

Ovid is known as the author of Metamorphoses and The Science of Love. He spent the rest of his life in exile in the northeastern provinces of the Roman Empire (most likely, on the territory of modern Romanian Constanta). In the 18th century, it was believed that the place of Ovid's exile was on the eastern bank of the Dniester estuary, so in 1795 the Tatar settlement Khadzhyher located here was renamed Ovidiopol.

Saint Nicholas Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Ovidiopol was built in 1823.

It is known that even in Turkish times there was a Cathedral Orthodox Church of Nicholas the Wonderworker here. After the founding of Ovidiopol and the construction of the harbor, a new Nicholas Church was built next to the port, but it soon burned down.

The current Saint Nicholas Cathedral in the style of classicism was built on the same place. The Orthodox Water Rescue Society operated for him. Restoration has been carried out in recent years.
