Jaimela Bridge, Adjara, Georgia
- Description
Jaimela Bridge (Tsoniarisi Bridge) is a picturesque arched bridge located in the village of Tsoniarisi in the Keda municipality in Adjara, representing an important historical and cultural site. Built during the High Middle Ages, the bridge is 22 meters long and 2.5 meters wide in the middle. It served as a key connection between the Adzharistskali gorge and the Khino monastery complex, and also connected the Kintrishi gorge with the villages of Guria.
Jaimela Bridge, also known as Tamara Bridge, is one of the oldest structures in the village and has a rich history, including damage during the Turkish invasions. Thanks to the rehabilitation work of 2009-2010, carried out using the old bridge supports, it was restored and continues to function, allowing movement between villages. The Tsoniarisi Bridge has the status of an immovable cultural monument of national importance, which makes it not only a practically significant object for local residents, but also an attractive attraction for tourists and historians seeking to explore the heritage and culture of Adjara.
A visit to the Jaimela Bridge provides a unique opportunity to become familiar with the historical bridge-building skills of the High Middle Ages and enjoy the picturesque views of the surrounding nature. This place is ideal for lovers of history, architecture, and for those who seek tranquility and inspiration in secluded corners of nature.

შთამბეჭდავი არქიტექტურული შედევრი, რომელიც სულიერ სიმშვიდეს გვაძლევს და აერთიანებს საუკუნეების ბილიკებს ულამაზეს ბუნებაში.

Знаете, ожидания были чуть выше. Мост выглядит старинным, но ощущение, что реставрация не привнесла ощущение древности, которой ожидаешь. Да и само расположение не самое удобное — далеко не каждый найдет. Вроде бы и связывает, но прохождение по нему вызывает смешанные чувства. Интересно, но не запомнилось как нечто выдающееся.

The bridge is like stepping into a piece of forgotten history. Each stone whispers stories of resilience and change, humbling you with its age and elegance. Crossing over, you can’t help but feel a connection to the past, imagining monks and villagers traversing the same path centuries ago. Stand in its shadow, and you will feel the serenity of the surrounding landscape embracing you. It’s not just a bridge; it’s a passage through time.

Мост – одно из старейших зданий села. Его длинное название связано с сельским округом Хаймела. Местные жители называют его «мостом Тамари», однако, согласно историческим источникам, мост должен был быть построен гораздо позже, в XV-XVII веках. Во время турецкого вторжения мост неоднократно разрушался. Его реставрация относится к 20 веку. Мост до сих пор функционирует, и по нему местные жители переезжают из деревни в деревню.
