Privoz Market in Odessa

Odessa is an extremely colorful city. There is where to relax from the bustle of the capital. Resting in Odessa, you should take care of the products. There are a lot of convenience stores and shops in every lane, but you can buy the freshest products and bargain at the Market. One of the most popular markets among Odessa residents and tourists is the Privoz market.

This place has a very interesting history. At the beginning of the 19th century, there were 3 main markets in the city: Greek, which was located on Greek Square, Old, and New, which still remained in its place. The import appeared in 1827, but at that time it was not an independent market, but only an addition to the Old, or as it was also called the Free Market.

At that time, it looked like an ordinary site without buildings, they usually sold here directly from carts and carts, on which merchants came. Until the 60s there was not even a market fee and uniform measures of weights were not established. After some time, wooden tables appeared here, and the first trading pavilions with concrete floors and sewer drains. In the early 70s, granite gravel was paved throughout the market.

During the time of the plague, the bazaar was burned, as all infected worked or visited this market. The reason for this was the free movement of pigs on the streets of Odessa and other cities of the Russian Empire.

There was dirt everywhere on the Old Market, rats were running and it smelled bad. Then sellers were paid compensation, and almost all the structures here were destroyed.

After the creation of the Fruit Passage, the market began to grow rapidly, a meat and fish building appeared and soon this area was associated exclusively with Privoz. Now on Panteleymonovskaya and Yekaterininskaya there are a huge number of shops with food, shoes, appliances. And not one of the streets of Odessa can boast the number of pharmacies that are on Panteleymonovskaya.

Privoz is a great market where you can find a wide variety of products. Good place to buy food all the time.
