Things to see and do Tbilissi

Inaugurated in spring 2010, this curious glass and metal gateway, built by an Italian architect, is President Saakashvili's personal project, emblematic of his aesthetic taste. It has created a serious contrast to the old town, and its presence here has been the subject of intense controversy. Only a pedestrian, it must serve what will come on the esplanade of Riké - a shopping Centre. Its form, which must remember that of a bird or fish, is worth its popular nickname, which refers naturally to sanitary napkins… 

On the left bank of the Kura in Issani (after Avlabari to the east), is the monstrous and eccentric palace of Marriages which was the office of civil ceremonies in Soviet times. It is omnipresent in the landscape in this part of the city, on both sides of the Kura. It was completed in 1984, incorporating vaguely the silhouette of a church. In the 1990 s, he was sold to the sulfureux Sulfureux Sulfureux Billionaire, who was deceased, who made his residence in Georgia. Since 2009, the palace has become a municipal office for weddings.

At one end of Avlabari square, the church Sourp Baghdjian of Etchmiazine, the only Armenian church in Tbilisi, alongside the cathedral Sourp Baghdjian de Méïdan, to be still in office. At the time of writing, it is being renovated - the neighbourhood has been fouet the earthquake of 2002.
