Colchis Fountain
კოლხური შადრევანი
A fountain in the central square of the city center, decorated with more than thirty golden animal sculptures from ancient Colchian gold artifacts. It is Kutaisi's city emblem.
The Colchis Fountain was built in 2011 in the central square of the old town. Its golden animal sculptures are enlarged replicas of the patterns on ancient Colchian gold artifacts unearthed at sites such as Vani, echoing the legend of the Golden Fleece. The square is surrounded by the opera house, theaters, banks, and cafés. In the evening, locals gather here, making it the starting point for a stroll through the city. The fountain is open all day and free to visit. The White Bridge and the Central Market are a few minutes' walk north.
