Fountain·Iconic, Vibrant, Historical
Standing as a centerpiece of Kutaisi, the Colchis Fountain is an elaborate modern monument that pays homage to Georgia's deep historical roots. The fountain is adorned with dozens of golden-hued statues, which are enlarged replicas of ancient jewelry and artifacts discovered at archaeological sites across the country. These figures represent the legendary Kingdom of Colchis, famously associated with the myth of Jason and the Argonauts. While the fountain is a grand sight during the day, it becomes truly spectacular at night when it is bathed in a vibrant red glow. Located in the main square, it serves as a lively hub for both locals and tourists, offering a perfect blend of culture, history, and urban atmosphere.
