Georgia’s Independence Day celebrated worldwide with landmark illuminations

On May 26, Georgia celebrates its Independence Day. In honor of the occasion, iconic landmarks around the world were illuminated in the colors of the Georgian flag.

In India, the historic Qutub Minar in Delhi—India’s oldest cultural heritage monument—was lit up in red and white. Standing 73 meters tall, this red-brick tower was built in 1193 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak and holds the distinction of being the tallest brick minaret in the world. It is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The July 15 Martyrs’ Bridge in Istanbul was illuminated in the Georgian national colors.

Baku Olympic Stadium was also illuminated in the colors of the Georgian flag.

In Ankara, Turkey, the iconic twin towers of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) were lit up thanks to an initiative by the Embassy of Georgia, with support from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In Cyprus, the façade of the Old City Hall in Nicosia was illuminated, along with Elevtherias Square – the city’s central park, designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid.

In Slovakia, the St. Urban Bell Tower in the city of Košice displayed the Georgian national flag through a light projection.

Meanwhile in Croatia, the central fountains of Zagreb were illuminated in red and white to mark Georgia’s national holiday.
