An unexpected piece of art in the centre of Stepantsminda: two concrete medieval-style towers, painted with bold geometric murals that blend traditional Caucasian motifs with contemporary street art. The towers were created as part of an arts initiative and stand out sharply against the mountain backdrop behind them.
This is a small curiosity rather than a major sight, but it speaks to Stepantsminda's growing self-confidence as a place that attracts visitors year-round. The contrast between the ancient landscape and the vivid modern artwork is striking. Worth five minutes on your way through the village centre.
