Abandoned Pool Laguna Vere Tbilisi 2023 - Urbex Georgia

Construction of this Soviet Brutalist stadium started in 1967 and was only finished around 10 years later due to various complications. It was used by the Leninist Komsomol (the Young Communist League), and during its Soviet heyday it won awards for its design: including the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, given to Laguna Vere in 1982. The complex hosted events on both regional and international levels, and it was the only open-air pool in Tbilisi open to all citizens regardless of their social status.
After being in private ownership for around 15 years it closed in 2014 and was damaged by a severe flood in 2015. Business are using some of the space here for storage, probably unofficially. Stray dogs and graffiti can present a challenge to photography attempts.

We were chased away from here by the owner who immediately called the police, who were there almost immediately, luckily we were able to get away in time😅

Had some people staring at me too, but they just left the dogs to deal with me -_-

That’s mean though. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with just visiting an old historical place…

Do you think if I go there with like 3 friends I’ll get chased out? I live nearby and have always wanted to check it out but I’m afraid of being caught lol

[@pigdogurbex]

Only one way to find out
