Russia–Georgia Friendship Monument
რუსეთ-საქართველოს მეგობრობის მონუმენტი
A semicircular mosaic viewing terrace built in 1983 on the edge of the cliffs above the Devil's Gorge, overlooking the Caucasus peaks.
The monument stands on the Military Road about 4 km north of Gudauri. It was built in 1983 to mark the 200th anniversary of the 1783 Treaty of Georgievsk. Its huge semicircular concrete platform is covered inside with coloured mosaics depicting the history of Georgia and Russia. Beyond the outer edge, far below the cliffs, lies the Aragvi River gorge, known as the Devil's Gorge. Entry is free. In summer, paragliding launch sites are nearby, and a flight costs about 250 lari. Take care in strong winds.
