Duke Vorontsov Palace and a Grecian colonnade which overlooks the harbor and also provides a fine view of the bay. The Count Vorontsov Palace and the Colonnade were built from 1824 to 1827. Before the Soviet revolution, the palace was owned by Count Mikhail S.Vorontsov, the governor of the Odessa region. In 1936 the palace became the children's palace for young pioneers. After the war, it was named in memory of sixteen-year-old Young Communist League member Yakov Gordienko.

The Palace and Colonnade are built in Russian classic style. Each facade of the palace is unique. The side facing the boulevard and the Black Sea has a four-column porch with Ionic columns. The entrance side has a walkway with Doric columns. The ten column crescent colonnade is separate from the palace and stands on a precipice, providing a panoramic view of the entire bay and the industrial port.
