Description

This the monumental main railway station of Novy Afon. This structure impresses with its sheer scale and imperial architecture. The massive rotunda with its towering columns feels almost like a temple built for eternity, yet the walls are slowly succumbing to time. The station stands as a silent monument on the historic Sochi-Sukhumi line, once hailed as the "Riviera of the East." Where travelers from Moscow or St. Petersburg once caught their first glimpse of the subtropics, footsteps now echo against empty stone.
