"Ali and Nino: The Kiss of the Moving Statues" is a prominent sculpture in Batumi, Georgia, created by artist Tamara Kvesitadze to tell the story of a tragic love between a Christian princess and a Muslim boy.
The sculpture, made of steel discs, weighs 7 tons and is 8 meters high. Every evening at 7:00 pm, the statues move towards each other, to join in a tender kiss and embrace, a motion that lasts for 10 minutes. The sculpture is a symbol of an endless tragic love story, and it is inspired by the novel "Ali and Nino: A Love Story" by Kurban Said, which is often compared to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
The monument also features spectacular colorful lighting, making it a must-see attraction for visitors to Batumi.
