Detailed itinerary

1

Monument 30 years of Victory in World War II, or as it is called by the people of Georgia - the mother is an eternal memory, which welcomes visiting travelers, as well as local residents at the entrance to the sunny city of Marneuli. The monument is presented in the form of a bronze woman who builds behind two children with one sword for two in her hands. Merab Konstantinovich Berdzenishvili - an outstanding sculptor of Soviet times, who created this masterpiece and received the corresponding award for it in 1976. The basic idea is that people remember the cost of winning the war.

Commemorating a legendary Soviet movie, Monument to the Heroes of the Film Mimino features statues of key characters and provides a great photo op.
