In the course of the principle roundabout within the centre of Kutaisi sits the Colchis Fountain. The design of the fountain is impressed by well-known gold jewelery found at archaeological websites all through Georgia, unearthed from the previous Kingdom of Colchis, and consists of 30 completely different statues. Atop the fountain are two horses, stated to belong to the legendary King Aeëtes of Colchis.
Across the fountain are sculptures of animals as soon as sacred to the Colchians: a lion, a ram, a tiger, a sheep, a mountain goat, and a deer.
The fountain provides a enjoyable and playful centre to the city and in addition lights up at night time to present the fountain a mystical look.
The fountain was unveiled in 2012 and was created by Georgian architect David Gogichaishvili.
