The abandoned Samgurali sanatorium in Tskaltubo is an example of late Soviet construction, presumably dating back to the Brezhnev era. The building resembles a typical panel house and contains no outstanding architectural or historical elements. Currently, the building is partially occupied by refugees.
A visit to this site may be of interest to researchers of Soviet architecture and urban studies, as well as those studying the social and everyday life of refugees and issues of temporary housing. The location may also be of interest to photographers and documentary filmmakers exploring the contemporary challenges of adaptation and settlement of internally displaced persons.
Address: Tskaltubo, Georgia. Caution and respect for the local residents are advised.
