MTSVANE KVAVILA

From David Aghmachénébéli Square, the street that goes up to the right of the theatre, leads to the old Jewish quarter. It is one of the most pleasant neighborhoods to walk around, with its small shady streets. Some of the buildings are remarkable. Unfortunately, the district is in poor condition and the facades are deteriorating considerably. Jews from Kutaisi emigrated to Israel in the early 1990s, not because they encountered problems (anti-Semitism is rare in Georgia), but for economic reasons. In the street, two former synagogues.
