Sculpted with dynamic figures of Medea, Aeson, and other legendary characters, the fountain blends art and history in the heart of Imereti’s capital. Its vibrant imagery reflects the region’s deep ties to the quest for the Golden Fleece, making it a symbolic gateway to Georgia’s mythic past. More than just a landmark, it captures the cultural pride of Kutaisi and offers visitors a vivid encounter with the legends that shaped the nation’s identity.
