Prince Oldenburg Park is located on the Black Sea coast in Old Gagra.
It covers an area of about 14 hectares, with a length of over 1 kilometer.
The seaside park was established in 1902 by order of Prince Oldenburg, the founder of the Gagra resort.
The work, supervised by architect Yevgeny Vasilyevich Shervinsky and landscape design expert K. Brener, continued until 1912 and cost about 5 million rubles.
The park contains more than 400 species of plants from around the world, including oriental raisin trees and fan palms from China, coconut palms from South America, Himalayan cedars, etc.
In the 1930-s, the park was renamed “Primorsky Park” and became the largest arboretum in the Caucasus.
At the entrance to the park from New Gagra stands a colonnade of more than 40 columns, 60 meters long.
Construction of the colonnade began in 1949 and was completed in 1956.
