Pitsunda (Abkhaz: Пиҵунда, Russian: Пицунда) or Bichvinta (Georgian: ბიჭვინთა[bitʃʼʷintʰa]ⓘ) is a resort town in the Gagra District of Abkhazia/Georgia.[note 1] Founded by Greek colonists in the 5th century BC, Pitsunda became an important political and religious centre of the region in the antiquity and the Middle Ages. Since Soviet times it has been one of the main resorts of Abkhazia.
^The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
