Odesa, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Ukraine, is a historic port city on the Black Sea, recognized in 2023 and listed as World Heritage in Danger due to ongoing conflict. Its 19th-century urban core, spanning 66 hectares, features a planned grid with neoclassical and eclectic architecture, reflecting its rapid growth as a cosmopolitan trade hub under Russian imperial rule. Key landmarks like the Odesa Opera House and Primorsky Boulevard highlight its multicultural heritage, blending Russian, Jewish, Greek, and Ukrainian influences, though its preservation is now threatened by war-related damage.
