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.

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.!

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 .

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.

In the center of staraya Gagra there is a colonnade, beautiful, delicate!!! On the one hand, there is a view of the sea, on the other to the cinema, the cat is now abandoned ... one of the most popular places in Gagra ... Although its construction was completed in 1956, it was timed to coincide with the end of the Great Patriotic War, 45 columns.

An excellent architectural monument in Gagra, erected in honor of the Great Victory. Anyway, Abkhazia is a country of the soul, if you want a spiritual rest alone with nature, far from the hustle and bustle, then you are here. Nature is simply magical, it heals, the mountains, surrounded by greenery, are just a paradise on Earth🩷

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.

"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!!!👍

We were there in April 2025. We came for the second time, as it was the first time we saw the colonnade briefly as part of the tour. During this visit, we managed to walk in the park and along the seashore, admiring the beauty of the Abkhazian landscapes. The only negative... these are the toilets that are not working and the nearby cafes (but it's probably not the season yet).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
