At the center of the boulevard "the Semicircle" is the site of the monument to Duc de Richelieu designed by Melnikov & Martos with bas reilefs depicting agriculture, trade & justice ornamenting the pedestal of the bronze statue of Richelieu overlooking the port & stairs. The two buildings each forming quarter circles in the shape of their facades both have five open apertures with semi-columns decorating the main entrances and a carved ballustrade above the massive cornices establishing the perimeter of Potemkin Square.
