🆕🚉🇬🇪 New location feature: Tskaltubo Train Station, Georgia
During the #Soviet era, Tskaltubo was developed into one of the USSR’s major spa resorts. Workers travelled here by rail from Moscow and all over the USSR, the trains pulling into this very station!
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, spa tourism declined and rail services eventually ceased.

🏛️🇬🇪 Standing at the gateway to Tskaltubo’s old resort district, this eye-catching 1950s Soviet spa building stands part in ruins and part inhabited.

In one of Georgia’s abandoned Soviet spa hotels, a forgotten oasis hides behind stripped concrete walls. At the heart of the complex lies a small pool lined with ocean-themed #mosaic. Colourful cartoon-stylised fish, starfish, and seaweed watched over by a growing fig tree rooted in the old pool.
Nature is reclaiming the ruins, turning this once-bustling resort into a silent space decaying with the passing decades

🆕🏛️🇬🇪 New location: Sanatorium Medea, #Georgia
Built 1957-1962, Sanatorium Medea was one of the largest & most impressive spa complexes in Tskaltubo. Designed in the Stalinist Empire style, its façade of blue-hued columns and arches reflected the grandeur expected of a premier Soviet health resort.
The fall of the USSR, combined with the Abkhazian war, brought decline and closure.

The forgotten displaced from Abkhazia | #DW Documentary
It has been more than 30 years since fighting broke out between #Georgia and #Abkhazia. Some of those whom the conflict displaced found refuge in a former Georgian sanatorium: the Hotel Metalurg. Now, they’re under pressure to leave again.
It was one of the bloodiest conflicts that followed the collapse of the #Soviet Union. #Abkhazia wanted to secede from Georgia, and expelled almost all ethnic Georgians from the small region on the Black Sea. Thousands moved to #Tskaltubo, an abandoned tourist resort known for its Soviet-era luxury sanatoriums. Over the past three decades, most of the community’s men have moved away, leaving behind many women and children. The buildings they live in have fallen into disrepair, including the Hotel Metalurg itself. Now, there are fears they will be driven out of what has become their second home. Many, especially the older residents, still hope to one day return to their real home of #Abkhazia.
