Abandoned mosaic complex

Abandoned children's fairytale town on the territory of the Adler resort town - mosaic complex "Coral" with a children's pool. It was created in the late 60s by the famous sculptor Zurab Tsereteli. This is a huge structure, erected in the middle of a "natural asymmetric" pool. The bottom of the pool is lined with mosaics of many fish and other marine life. The "Coral" itself is faced with smalt. Colored glasses are inserted in the curly windows. Have been inserted.

Probably, in the past it was very good, if even now, with traces of the influence of time and vandals, it impresses with its scale and originality. A very bright and memorable object. But now little is left of the former splendor. How the architectural ensemble is dying is observed daily by local residents and vacationers. Now there are not many of them, in the summer, they say, there is no free space. The tarnished, chipped smalt attracts the eye even after decades. The bottom of the pool is covered with chipped smalt, concrete and debris

According to Google, the last repair of "Coral" was carried out in 1983 in the amount of 480,000 rubles. At that time, the amount was considerable, but today it will take millions for repairs (which no one promises). And if many still admire the remnants of the former luxury, what can we say about the past?

There is some fun beauty still there, but I bet it was really amazing when it was new.

Yes, they say it was very beautiful there before.) Soon there will be another post with a similar place.)

Looks like a pretty nice children's pool, always a bit sad to see things like this go to ruin.

Locals say that when the pool was filled with water, the children loved to have fun there.
