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.
