SANATORIUM GRUZYA

Staircase with columns and moss covered ceiling rosettes in an abandoned sanatorium in Georgia

A wide staircase with a white balustrade runs along turquoise walls with tall round arched windows. Slender columns with Corinthian capitals support a ceiling with richly ornamented rosettes, where moss has already taken hold. Green staining spreads across the ceiling panels, the wall paint flaking in places. The space feels long and still stately.
