WELCOME TO
TBILISI
One of Europe’s oldest capitals, Tbilisi has been the cultural, political,
and economic center of Georgia for fifteen centuries. According to the
legend, King Vakhtang Gorgasali founded Tbilisi after a hunting trip
near the former capital city of Mtskheta. While in pursuit of a pheasant,
his falcon led him to a hot spring where both birds accidentally boiled.
Recognizing the potential benefits of such natural springs, the king
decided to establish a new capital on the site, which he aptly named
Tbilisi (‘tbili’ in Georgian means ‘warm’). Today, the city boasts
numerous hot sulphur springs, most notably in the Abanotubani
district, where the famous sulphur baths can be found.
The Old Town beckons with its narrow alleys, picturesque courtyards,
and centuries-old buildings. Wander through history as you visit
landmarks like the Sioni Cathedral, an architectural marvel dating
back to the 6th century, and the iconic Narikala fortress, which offers
panoramic views of the cityscape and the meandering Mtkvari River.
Tbilisi’s rich cultural tapestry is evident in its diverse neighborhoods.
Explore Sioni Street, where the city’s Jewish heritage comes to life
through the Georgian Synagogue and its vibrant surroundings. Visit
Tbilisi’s only mosque, a testament to the city’s inclusive spirit, and
marvel at its unique architectural design. The Georgian National

MUSEUMS
MOMA TBILISI
The Museum represents a 3-story exhibition space, which is located in
the heart of Tbilisi’s center – Rustaveli avenue. The building where the
Museum of Modern Art of Zurab Tsereteli is situated was rehabilitated
during 2007-2012. Zurab Tsereteli began the reconstruction and
restoration of the former Tbilisi Cadet Corps to locate a museum
in it. Following the rehabilitation, the building retained the external
style and the historic details, while the internal space was changed
completely, which resulted in the establishment of a modern gallery,
including new exhibition halls.
Monthly exhibitions of Georgian as well as foreign artists are held in
the exhibition space of the museum located on the first floor. Second
and third floors host permanent personal exhibition of Zurab Tsereteli.

THEATRE
“This is the only theatre in the city, the interior of which is totally Moor-
ish in style, and it is undoubtedly one of the most elegant, beautiful and
fascinating theatre buildings that mankind has seen.” (L’Illustration,
October 25,1851).
The history of the Tbilisi Opera House began more than 165 years
ago. On April 12, 1851, the first opera house in Transcaucasia was
inaugurated with a Grand Masked Ball, attended by the high society
of Tbilisi. But on October 11, 1874, this opera house was destroyed by
a fire. In 1896, the present building, designed by the architect Victor
Schröter, was completed.
This building, too, suffered damages in the course of time, but was re-
stored to its original form in 1978 preserving the oriental, neo-Moorish
style of the building.
On January 30, 2016, the Tbilisi Opera House was reopen to the pub-
lic after comprehensive six-year renovation.

GEORGIA
CRADLE OF WINE
Georgia embodies the future of wine with its unique varieties and mys-
terious ancient methods, dating back to the depths of centuries, may
even become a discovery for the whole world. One can say for sure
that the ancient traces of vine culture are all preserved in Georgia.
Grape stones dating back to the 6th millennium BC were found by
archeologists several decades ago in Kvemo Kartli (south of Tbilisi),
at Marneuli Valley, the prehistoric settlement of Dangreuli Gora. Geor-
gian wine has an 8,000 - year history. That is why Georgia is known
as the cradle of wine.
