2025 Museums

Apart from the city by the Black Sea, known for its intriguing architectural monuments, magnificent parks, and squares, there exists another Odessa, depicted by the "Mysteries of Underground Odessa" museum. Established in 2013 by members of the VNK "Military Valor," it captivatingly shines a light on the centuries-old history of the catacombs, whose total length exceeds 3,000 kilometers.

Originally, these catacombs were quarries where limestone was mined - a stone used for constructing Odessa's buildings. Later, they were used by smugglers, bandits, underground fighters, and partisans.

Interestingly, the catacombs maintain a constant temperature of +14°C throughout the year, so tourists are advised to bring warmer clothes for the tour.
