Odessa (Ukrainian: Одеса-Головна, Russian: Одесса-Главная) is the main train station in Odessa in southern Ukraine. It was built in the second half of the 19th century. It was damaged in 1944 during World War II and was rebuilt in 1952. It is situated in the city center of Odessa.
History
The first building of Odessa Railway Station was „П“-shaped. Its shorter part was faced to the station square, continuing the axis of Pushkinska Street. Trains entered the station between the longer side buildings. Between the buildings platforms were placed, and they ended in front of the shorter building. Such a Terminal train station was formed because Odessa is a place where as of that time - the line, ended next came the Black Sea.
- Station building collapsed during World War II in 1944. It was restored in 1952 according to A.M. Chuprin's project (instead of the destroyed one during the fascist occupation of Odessa).
- The new station building was remodeled in 2006.
