Tskaltubo was once a thriving spa town. During Soviet times there were 22 sanatoriums in the town. Nowadays, it's almost deserted.

Out of the original 22 sanatoriums, only 2 are now operational. The others have been left to rot and decay. One of these features a bath once used by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

In some of the others, you will find IDP's (internally displaced people) from the Abkhazia region of Georgia. There were forced to flee their homes shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union and subsequent territory dispute.

Tskaltubo was an interesting place to visit, a town frozen in time. There is a plan to restore these decaying sanatoriums, time will tell if it ever happens. If you get the chance to visit, then I would definitely recommend it. Especially if you are a urban explorer.
