Lonely Planet review for Statue of the Duc de Richelieu

On bul Prymorsky, you'll find the statue of the Duc de Richelieu, Odesa's first governor, looking like a Roman in a toga, at the top of the Potemkin Steps. The view from here is of the passenger port, the towering Hotel Odessa and the Black Sea. The view, however, is probably better from the bottom of the steps, where the designers' optical illusion takes effect: the stairs seem higher than they are, thanks to a gradual narrowing from bottom (21m wide) to top (13m wide).
