The Palace of the Governor-General of the Novorossiya Region Mykhaylo Vorontsov in Odesa was built in 1827 in the Empire style according to the project and under the direction of the architect Frants Boffo.

The interiors of the palace, designed by the outstanding sculptor and painter Karl Scotti, are the best examples of the preserved interiors of Odesa from the empire era. Prince Vorontsov arranged elegant balls here.

In Soviet times, the premises were occupied by the Palace of Children and School Youth.

The belvedere colonnade on the embankment is considered one of the symbols of Odesa. In 1994, the "Day and Night" fountain by Mykhaylo Reva was installed nearby.

The hillfort is located near Cape Sychavskyi to the west of the mouth of the Tylihul estuary, near the Pivdenne city and the Koshary village.

According to one version, the Koshary settlement is much older, and it can be identified with the ancient city of Odesos, which gave its name to the present Odesa.
