Pryvoz Market

The famous Pryvoz Market, located at 14 Pryvozna Street, is the largest food market in Odessa, Ukraine.

Privoz began in 1827, when wares were sold from the back of horse driven carts.

Privoz adjoined the Stary (old) bazaar (also called the Volny (free) market) the first bazaar in Odessa. Gradually more buildings were constructed as the city grew.

In the 1940s zoo animals were moved from the Odessa zoo to Simferopol. Four-year-old elephant Murza (Мурза) escaped. It ran to the fruit section of the Pryvoz Market and ate several apples, pulled out pickled cucumbers from a barrel, tasted some fresh cabbage and dried fruits. Murza was caught and returned to the zoo. A popular Soviet comedy film, Striped Trip was inspired by this incident.

A western journalist explained his visit to the market:

Definitely not a farmers market. It's a big plaza nothing fancy at all. The typical open market.
