Monument sights in Georgia

  1. Statue of Kartlis Deda

    From outside the Narikala Fortress entrance, you can follow a path west in front of the walls along to the statue of Kartlis Deda. As attractive as a 20m aluminium woman can be, this symbol of the city holds a sword in one hand and a cup of wine in the other - a perfect metaphor for the Georgian character, warmly welcoming guests and passionately fighting off enemies.

  2. Monument

    Towering over the square is a striking monument, unveiled in 2007, to Medea, 'the person who brought Georgia closer to Europe,' according to Batumi's mayor at the time. The Georgian government controversially paid over 1 million GEL for the monument, sculpted by Davit Khmaladze.
