of the
Quarantine Cemetery The modern Odesa Quarantine was established in 1811 on the basis of the Odesa Fortress, a defence line which had been constructed in 1793. The establishment of the Quarantine coincided with a
plague outbreak, and it was established under the guidance of
Armand Emmanuel de Vignerot du Plessis, 5th Duke of Richelieu. The original quarantine was built alongside the
Port of Odesa by
François Sainte de Wollant. It was at first very successful, but its wooden structure soon proved to be unable to cope with the increasing development of the city, and the quarantine was moved. Following the abolition of quarantine laws and the transfer of quarantine functions to hospitals, the Odesa Quarantine was largely demolished in 1896. The powder tower, the arcade, and a partially-intact tower of the have survived from the original structure. The Quarantine Cemetery was destroyed in 1936 and
Chornomorets Stadium was built over its place. == References ==
