Georgia (the country, not the U.S. state) is known for its architecturally unique border crossings which have been likened to works of art.

The most famous of these crossings is the one between Georgia and Turkey at the town of Sarpi (Sarp on the Turkish side). If you're headed to the famous Black Sea resort city of Batumi from Turkey or the rest of Europe, this is the crossing that welcomes you to Georgia.

That tower structure to the right in fact says "Georgia" on the side facing Turkey.

There are three border crossings between Georgia and Turkey. One of these just opened in October 2015 near the Kartsakhi Lake between the towns of Kartsakhi in Georgia and Çıldır in Turkey.

But uniquely-designed border crossings aren't limited to the border between Georgia and Turkey. This is the border crossing between Ninotsminda in Georgia and Bavra in Armenia, designed by local architect Luka Machablishvili.

Further east along the Georgia-Armenia border is the border crossing between Sadakhlo in Georgia and Bagratashen in Armenia. Interestingly enough, in a strange twist of regional politics, most residents of Sadakhlo are Azerbaijanis, and the Azerbaijanis have a long-running enmity with the Armenians over Nagorno-Karabakh.

What does that center building look like? Like this.

I actually crossed this border in 2014, and on the way back from Yerevan to Tbilisi, I noticed that a Hollywood sign-like "Georgia" sign was put up on the side of a neighboring hill to greet visitors as they enter the country.

A similarly-designed border crossing is also found on the border between Georgia and Azerbaijan. Known as the Red Bridge, it straddles between Rustavi in Georgia and İkinci Şıxlı in Azerbaijan.

Here's the crossing up close.

Finally, even the crossings between Georgia and Russia are architecturally interesting. This is the crossing between the famous mountain city of Stepantsminda on the Georgian side, and Verchniy Lars in the Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania on the Russian side.

Do savor the beauty of Georgia's border crossings—arguably the most beautiful in the world.
