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
The colonnade is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants, as well as close to the beach. There is also the famous Gagripsh restaurant nearby, which attracts visitors with its unique history. This place is ideal for beautiful photos that will remind you for a long time about a wonderful vacation in Gagra.!
A place of worship, one of the most famous attractions in Gagra is the Colonnade. It's beautiful, clean, and there are always a lot of tourists. Nearby there is a beautiful, cozy park, many different cafes.
The location is interesting for those who like to take photos from a vacation in the style of a "diamond hand")). The colonnade is an element of ancient architectural art. A series of columns united by a single element on top. There are many objects in Abkhazia made in the classical style, the colonnade is in particularly good condition, the reconstruction and restoration of the object has been carried out. Unfortunately, many wonderful buildings, including those of cultural and historical value, are half-abandoned, in a dilapidated state.
It's a very beautiful place. I think everyone who comes to Abkhazia must stay here. However, despite all its beauty, this place gives the impression of ruin.
And the most unpleasant thing! I've only stayed here three times, and each time they tried to cheat us out of money too obsessively. Because of this, there is no desire to stop here.
The impression is indelible, right Ah. It is especially beautiful in the evening and at night. Sunset.... Everything is neat, clean, music. The fountain is surprisingly clean. I recommend visiting. You won't regret it!
The place is familiar from childhood. Nothing new has been built in Abkhazia. What was built by the hands of Soviet people was not preserved. There are a couple of familiar places from which Abkhazia feeds, they are maintained in a more or less adequate condition. What is striking is what was done under Soviet rule and repaired by independence. So, during the Soviet era, sidewalks, stairs, building plinths and facades were built from natural, hewn stone, and now everything is made of Dechman decorative concrete and the same poor tiles. There is a lot of cheap plastic in the finishes. They ground it up, they don't want to work, they exploit the remnants of the Soviet era. It's a pity, nature is heavenly, lazy people got it.

Quite an iconic and interesting landmark of Gagra.
The colonnade is located on the Seaside embankment of Staraya Gagra. The white pillars and the arcade of the colonnade organically harmonize with the greenery of palm trees, gray pebbles and turquoise of the sea on a warm autumn day. And in a storm, the colonnade looks gorgeous against the background of a raging wave and a leaden sky.
The colonnade has a fountain. The backlight works at night. In the evenings, artists perform with live music. They offer to take pictures with exotic bird species. Nearby there are many cafes and a walking area, several beaches.
In general, I really liked this attraction. I recommend you to visit.
Very, beautiful view, wonderful atmosphere. There is a fountain with arched patterns right in the center. You can take a break from all sorts of things, this is an atmospheric place. You can arrange a meeting or a date. Nice view of the endless sea. The colonnade is full of impressions, emotions and so on. I advise everyone to go there
It's a very beautiful place, but there are a lot of tourists. Beautiful view both from the central part and from the back. And there is a stunning beach behind the colonnade. I recommend everyone to relax there.
"Colonnade" is one of the main "business cards" of Abkhazia! Like the Red Square in Moscow, or the Eiffel Tower in Paris! Therefore, to come to Abkhazia and not see the Colonnade, to put it mildly, will look strange!))
Accordingly, all tour buses from the Krasnodar territory have a mandatory stop at the colonnade!
So, the "Colonnade":
1) It's easy to get there! It is located in the center of Gagra.
2) the place is historical, which means it is memorable and significant! At least once, you need to visit here!
Watch the video on my channel "BC WOLVERINE | Family Travel". And as usual, I summarize: good photos and videos, great memories and mood are guaranteed to you!
I RECOMMEND IT!!!👍
A beautiful place to visit is a must! If you came to Gagra and did not visit this place, consider that you have not been to Gagra.)))) Very beautiful at night and stunning during the day!
Beautiful well-maintained architectural form, preserved from Soviet times. It offers a beautiful view of the sea and the embankment. The cozy Gagra Park begins.
Beautiful! I advise those who have not been to visit, the photos turn out super, just behind the colonnade there is an embankment where there is something to see and eat delicious food, and further a beach with a warm and clean sea.
One of the main attractions of the city of Gagra. In the summer season, they play musical instruments here, meet and spend time together. There is a small fountain.
I was in Abkhazia for the first time and definitely not the last time. The architecture of the old Gagras will not leave anyone indifferent. The place attracts many tourists, there is a great beach with small pebbles and sand nearby. The sea is clear.
A beautiful location on the embankment in Gagra, a tourist destination, excellent photos are taken against the background of the colonnade, I recommend the time to visit in the morning, when there are fewer people
A beautiful place! Next to the embankment, which is very pleasant to walk along! There are several cafes nearby, there are rods and umbrellas on the beach for a fee! There is a clean toilet nearby. There is a steam train for children!) And for adults there is a carriage.
A great atmospheric place, a beautiful view and a wonderful photo zone, especially at night. Don't come by!!! A place with a history from the Soviet Union
It's beautiful to walk in this place in the evening) The Colonnade is lit, the embankment is 2 steps away, you can sit in a cafe and admire the beautiful view. It's not like that during the day, nothing special🙂
It is a very beautiful place both in the afternoon and in the evening. Against the background of the sunset, it is simply gorgeous and mesmerizing. The architecture is very cool and beautiful.
The place is cool, atmospheric. There is only one request to visitors - please do not take pictures with captured animals, it is not humane to keep such beautiful creatures chained and exploited
I come to Abkhazia every year and the Colonnade attraction is a mandatory place to visit. It is very clean, beautiful, the fountain works, amazing photos are obtained 😊
The colonnade is the first visiting card for anyone entering Abkhazia. Recently renovated and looks great.
But you have to be vigilant with local offers to take photos. It all starts with congratulations. - Happy holidays! Which one? And you're at their mercy.
It's beautiful, of course, but you expect something more from the main attraction and business card. It's very crowded, noisy, cars, taxi drivers.. but the park is wonderful, green, well-groomed, beautiful.. It was recently restored with Moscow (or just Russian, I don't remember) money, it's a pleasure to walk. Just don't forget - you can't pay with a card almost anywhere, cash or transfer.
It's a very beautiful place! It is located in Abkhazia, in the city of Gagra . I went there with my parents. The only negative that caused me to remove the 1 star is that there are a lot of stray dogs. But for some it may not be a minus.
It is very beautiful, very, very, I advise you to visit all vacationers there!!! Abkhazia is generally a magnificent country both by nature and by its hospitality.
An incredibly beautiful playground even in autumn! It can be seen that the cleanliness and order of the object are being monitored. We gladly made a stop to breathe the air of Gagra.
Very beautiful view, atmospheric photos are obtained, quite clean. There are a lot of people, but it is logical that all excursions go through this place🤷 🏻♀️ There are many cafes nearby where you can have a snack.
A SUPER BEAUTIFUL PLACE.The amazing, majestic architecture of the facility.Joyful and festive lighting!Fountain👍👋👋👋There is a beautiful park nearby.AND THE SEA.The sea, the sailor.I always want to rest there.
Beauty! One of the few attractions that have been restored (with the support of the Russian Federation) and look very decent. Sea view, palm trees,... a beautiful place. The cinema opposite is abandoned. Very colorful
Magnificent view, the place is very beautiful, the renovation is simple , clean, the fountain - excursions literally around the clock, sightseeing tours too,the place is accessible to anyone
Gagra is a famous resort town. Sunsets over the sea are always beautiful, and among the palm trees. It 's incredibly beautiful ! When you see the colonnade and the sunset over the sea, you remember the movie "Winter Evening in Gagra". The colonnade has 45 columns and 8 snow-white arches in front of which stands a fountain decorated with a dove in the center - as a symbol of peace and victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The only place in Gagra that has a beautiful view after reconstruction. Everything else is in desolation and ruin. It is not clear when and who will restore the former beauty. The beautiful, unique nature of this region pleases. That's about it.
Why not go and take a walk along the seashore, along the embankment, with beautiful views of the mountains. Something about the beautiful nature in Abkhazia!
The whole attraction, if YOU CAN call it THAT, is a Column with a Fountain. And if you go down, there is a stall with drinks with VERY High prices. Because there is no place else to buy. Perhaps this is marketing, because the tour bus stops here for 20 minutes, but in general there is nothing to do there.!!!!!
The colonnade in Gagra is a favorite place for vacationers in the old Gagra area. Unlike other places, it is in good condition, vacationers like to arrange photo shoots here, sit by an idle fountain and listen to music.
A beautiful place, you can take beautiful photos, there is a fountain in front of the colonnade, and across the street you can admire the abandoned theater. After passing through the arch, you can get into the park and admire the exotic plants.
Gagra. Old town. A snow-white colonnade with a fountain. A very beautiful and extremely exquisite architectural structure. You can look at intricate columns and arched patterns for a long time, watch and touch this man-made work with fascination. The business card of the city of Gagra. You can make a date here...a meeting... or just relax by the fountain, take beautiful photos. It offers a view of the endless sea and beaches with white stones. You can walk along the embankment or turn into the Seaside Park. Impressions and emotions can be obtained before the next vacation.
It was not the first time in Abkhazia, but the early crossing of the border led to the fact that in Gagra the colonnade was not visible at all. Plus, there is no coverage of this part in the Gagra. In general, the place is beautiful and I was grateful for the tourists who were there for the first time. keep this point in mind when planning excursions.
It's a very beautiful place. Gagra's business card.It is currently restored very clean and well maintained. The park is also great, a great place to walk.
Anyuta, you can't imagine! I'm flying to Gagra now!", — everyone knows this moment from the film "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession". Once in Gagra(s), I remembered exactly this phrase) I really liked the embankment, the clock at the winter garden and the presidential coffee)
They restored it and turned on the backlight. But if you are not a fan of selfies against the background of the most famous sights, there is nothing to do here, there are a lot of people, so if you get into the dark, you can stop, and if it's daytime, then it's not even worth wasting time.
