It is the main town of the Tskaltubo Municipality of the Imereti province. It is famous for its radon-carbonate mineral springs, whose natural temperature of 33\u201335 \u00b0C (91\u201395 \u00b0F) enables the water to be used without preliminary heating.<\/p>\n<p>Tskaltubo was especially popular in the Soviet era, attracting around 125,000 visitors a year. Bathhouse 9 features a frieze of Stalin and visitors can see the private pool where he bathed on his visits.<\/p>\n<p>Currently the spa receives only some 700 visitors a year, and since 1993 many of the sanatorium complexes have been devoted to housing some 9000 refugees, primarily women and children, displaced from their homes by ethnic conflict in Abkhasia.<\/p>\n<p>The Artasfoundation \u2013 http:\/\/www.artasfoundation.ch\/en \u2013 organizes each summer an art festival in Tskaltubo that allows the population to meet and gives people the opportunity to try different art forms they wouldn\u2019t have acceded.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/lVjkBUfB_dE&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1734602953919{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK ON THE PICTURE OR THE TITLE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-missions","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfw-ch.com\/humanitarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
