In the center of staraya Gagra there is a local landmark - an Openwork colonnade.
On the one hand, the square with a colonnade overlooks the avenue , and on the other - the Seaside Park and immediately the descent to the sea .
This structure consists of four snow-white towers and beautiful openwork arcades , between the arcades there are columns , columns - 45 .
The number 45 is symbolic , as this building is dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1945 .
The arches of the Colonnade are very elegant , there is evening illumination.
There is a fountain on the square in front of the colonnade.
There is a pedestal in the center of the fountain , which is crowned by a sculpture of a pigeon .
Across the street is the former Gagra cinema, where the film ‘Winter Evening in Gagra " was shot.
From a distance , he looks decent , but when we approached him , I was upset , the building is in a very neglected state , the area around is unkempt .
But I recommend taking a walk on the square in front of the colonnade and meeting the sunset .
Gagra Colonnade, one of the most popular attractions, located in the center of Old Gagra. A snow-white beauty with a length of more than 60 meters. The four towers are connected by arcades, each of which consists of 8 arches. The opening took place in January 1956. The colonnade has 45 columns, symbolizing the year of the end of the war, the victory over fascism. A great photo zone for those who like to take pictures. It's always crowded here, with lots of guided tours. In the evening, the backlight turns on, which creates an even more romantic mood.
The film Winter Evening in Gagra, which was filmed here, brought additional fame to this place. There is a beautiful and clean fountain in the center of the square. In the center of the fountain is a sculpture of a white dove, symbolizing peace. Next to the square where the colonnade is located, there is a Seaside park, a beautiful embankment, the famous old Gagripsh restaurant, and an old, rather dilapidated cinema. There are many cafes, and there is a train for children. A beautiful place for walking.
A great place, very beautiful and picturesque, when I'm passing through, I always try to stop here and take a leisurely stroll along the Black Sea embankment in the shade of palm trees, there are plenty of entertainment for every taste, cafes, you can ride with a breeze on a carriage, picturesque fountains and much more
