Overview

The Borjomi Welcome Statue offers a contemporary introduction to this historic spa town. Erected in recent years, the statue has quickly become a recognizable landmark for those arriving in Borjomi. While officially unnamed, many draw parallels between the statue and Prometheus, the Greek god of fire. However, locals often associate it with Amirani, a similar figure from Georgian mythology who defied the gods to help humanity.Whether it's Prometheus or Amirani, the statue embodies the spirit of resilience and innovation. Borjomi itself is nestled in the Borjomi Gorge, known for its mineral waters and stunning natural beauty. The town gained prominence in the 19th century as a spa resort, attracting Russian aristocracy and, later, Soviet citizens seeking its therapeutic waters. Today, Borjomi continues to welcome visitors with its blend of natural wonders and historical charm.Located near the entrance to Borjomi, the statue provides an excellent photo opportunity and a symbolic gateway to the town's attractions. From here, visitors can easily access Borjomi Central Park, home to the famous mineral water springs, hiking trails in the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, and the town's historic architecture.
