Sarpi Border Checkpoint

Certain to catch your attention, the Sarpi Border Checkpoint is situated at the Georgian border to Turkey at the edge of the Black Sea.  Completed in 2011 and designed by German firm J. Mayer H. Architects, the checkpoint welcomes visitors with a striking landmark that represents Georgia’s progressive upsurge.  The tower has cantilevered terraces and is used as a viewing platform with multiple levels that overlook the water and the steeper part of the coastline.  In addition to the regular customs facilities, the checkpoint houses a cafeteria, staff rooms, and a conference room.
