The abandoned Savane sanatorium in Tskaltubo, Georgia, is an interesting historical site. Construction began in 1947 under the leadership of architect P. Potskishvili, but the building remained unfinished for almost thirty years and was put into operation only in 1975. The sanatorium was designed for 150 beds, which is half the size of comparable facilities, such as the Shakhtar sanatorium. Currently, it is a long, 150-meter building of a curved shape, oriented with its facade to the west and overlooking the park area. The sanatorium is located a few meters from the main road and is therefore clearly visible. Its porch is often used for photography by visitors. However, there are no particularly noteworthy objects to explore inside the building.
A visit to the abandoned Savane sanatorium may be of interest to lovers of history, architecture and urbanism, as well as to photographers looking for original and atmospheric locations. The sanatorium may also be of interest to those interested in the post-war history of Georgia and the activities of Soviet architects of the mid-20th century. Please note that the building is in an abandoned and possibly disrepair condition, so caution should be exercised when visiting.
