The railway in Abkhazia was built in the 1930s. The first section was opened in 1940 from Enguri to the capital. A couple of years later, they launched a movement from Sukhumi to Adler. After that, trains began to follow the entire Black Sea railway line.
Sukhum, whose webcams are available on the site, is the capital of Abkhazia.
This is one of the largest cities in the country. More than 60 thousand people live here. It is located in the central part, on the Black Sea coast.
The first mention of the city dates back to the 13th century. In the annals of that time, it is called Tskhumi, which in translation from the Svan language means a hornbeam tree. The modern name is attributed to the Turks. When they captured these lands, they erected the Sukhum-Kale fortress here. Over time, this place grew into a city of the same name. After the annexation of the Caucasus to the Russian Empire, the settlement began to be called simply Sukhum.
After the last Russian-Turkish war, the city was badly damaged. Most of the residents have left Sukhum, whose webcams will allow you to walk along the cozy streets online. The revival of this place begins in the 1880s, when colonists began to arrive. According to the 1897 census, more than 7 thousand people already lived here. Among them were Russians, Mingrelians, Greeks, Armenians, Poles, Germans and other nationalities. Each representative brought a piece of their culture to the city.
Sukhum received rapid development at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, after the appearance of citrus orchards and the cultivation of tobacco.
In the late 1890s, more than a hundred enterprises worked here, and entrepreneurs built shops, hotels, and villas. It was during this period that the city acquired its beautiful architectural appearance.
Almost all the cities of Abkhazia were rebuilt in the best traditions of European urban planning, from planning to architecture. Many buildings were built in the Art Nouveau style, which can be seen in the decorative elements and building materials used. The entire structure was built of brick, stone, iron, and the roof was covered with tiles.
In addition to the development of agriculture and trade, the capital of Abkhazia began the development of tourism and climate treatment. Actively began to build hospitals and sanatoriums. Here was one of the best health resorts in Europe - the sanatorium of Nikolai Smetsky. Until the 1930s, the settlement developed and created a comfortable infrastructure for life.
Sukhum is a picturesque city, webcams allow you to enjoy architecture and nature in real time, but, of course, you should come here to enjoy the bright sun, breathe in the mountain air and touch the ancient history.
