Agudsera (also Agudseri and Agudzera; Russian Агудзера ; Georgian აგუძერა ) is a spa town in Abkhazia in the Gulripsch district near the capital Sukhumi .
Agudsera has a railway station on the coastal route that leads via Sukhumi to Sochi . Agudsera has a market, post office, shops, cafes, restaurants and sanatoriums, subtropical parks and a picturesque beach. At the entrance to the village there is an Orthodox church donated in 1908, which is built in a peculiar style.
The first sanatoriums were built around 1900 during the Tsarist era and were later nationalized. In the 1970s, a special sanatorium for artists and writers was set up, where famous writers and poets such as Yevgeny Yevtushenko , Konstantin Simonov and the Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli stayed.
Agudsera later became known as the Science City ( Naukograd ) or closed city , which housed the Institute of Physics and Technology Sukhumi , where exiled German scientists worked together with Soviet colleagues on the Soviet atomic bomb project after the Second World War . The institute still exists today under the name “Sukhumi Physikalisch-Technische Institut” (SFTI, see also SIPT).
