Sukhumi Railway Station — Online Webcam Traffic

Sukhumi Railway Station webcam online is an opportunity to observe the life of the main gateway to Abkhazia in real time. The capital of the republic welcomes guests not only by air and highway, but also by the rails of the Abkhazian Railway. The station square is always filled with passengers, and the station tracks are actively used for freight operations.

Architecture and history of the Sukhumi station

The Sukhumi station building is a striking example of monumental mid-20th century architecture. The station opened in December 1951 designed by architects Levan and Lola Mushkudiani. The building is designed in neoclassical style: massive columns, arched windows, and a central spire tower make it an architectural dominant of the city. Elements of Stalinist architecture give the structure a special flavor and monumentality. Unfortunately, during the Georgian-Abkhaz war, the station was destroyed and used as an ammunition depot, but it was subsequently restored.

Transport accessibility of the station district

Sukhumi railway station is located in the city center on Dzidzaria Street. Nearby is the bus station — at 81 Dzidzaria Street, by the railway station square.
