The ensemble in the middle of the large square is very impressive. We were there at night and the square was full of honking cars celebrating Georgia's victory against the Czech Republic in the football match

Kutaisi Central Garden "Boulevard" - a walk and leisure place in the city center. The garden was planted in 1821 with decorated plants included vineyard, fruit trees, and garden. At the beginning of the last century, the central park of the city was not just for walking, but it was a gathering place of public figures and was called "Kutaisi Parliament". Kutaisi Boulevard has a shape of a square, ending with two alleys. The garden is crossed with an additional two more alleys which form the shape of a cross. In Boulevard there is a monument to Akaki Tsereteli, Zakaria Paliashvili, Ishkhneli sisters and a Memorial of April 9. Source: georgiantravelguide.com/en/kutaisi-boulevard

Kutaisi drama theatre is the main attraction of the city’s central square. It was built in the 1950s, although the history of Kutaisi theatre began 100 years earlier. The first play was performed in 1861. Many famous Georgian artists and founders of Georgian theatre started their careers in this theatre.

Kutaisi is the third largest city in Georgia, and there are also a lot of sights to discover in this city. The "Colchis Fountain" on the central David Agmashenebeli (David the Builder) Square refers to Georgia's great culture, which dates back to ancient times. According to legend, the Argonauts - the best heroes of Greece - under their leader Jason once traveled to the land of the Colchians to get the legendary "Golden Fleece". The magician Medea helped them. In any case, the fact is that the oldest gold mines in the world were found in Georgia. The fantastic gold and bronze works (including jewelry, pendants, animal figures and others) that are up to 5,000 years old can be admired in the National Museum of Georgia (in Tbilisi). The figures on the edge of the fountain represent (enlarged) replicas of these ancient finds; the fountain is crowned by a pair of gold-plated horses. There is also a male bronze figure sitting on the edge of the fountain, holding a drinking horn in his hand. This is also an enlarged copy of a sculpture from the 7th century that was found during archaeological excavations. It represents the "Tamada" - the master of the table or ceremonies at a Georgian banquet. The Tamada ensures that the festival runs smoothly and, above all, that the typical toasts are made. Not a drop of wine is drunk without a toast being raised! Source: brunnenturmfigur.de/index.php?cat=Fountains%20und%20Wasserspiele%2Fin%20aller%20Welt&page=Tbilisi%20und%20Kutaisi%20%28Georgien%29
