A striking Soviet-era monument nicknamed the "Golden Candle" — a tall gilded sculpture set in an urban plaza near Kutaisi city center. Shoot its vertical form against dramatic skies, reflections in wet pavement, and contextual shots with surrounding Brutalist buildings. Best at golden hour or after dusk when uplighting warms the metal. Easily accessible on foot from central Kutaisi; limited parking on nearby streets. No entry fee; respect local traffic and occasional events.
