“Defenseless”

I really don't like having to go to work in the La Défense district near Paris. It's a human anthill where people are mostly in a hurry to get from the train to the office and back again.

The only reason why a visit to this district might be of any interest is for architectural photography, with the many towers covered in glass reflecting each other.

“Quietness”

Yili Garden is a traditional Chinese garden of 10,000 square meters, created with the participation of the Suzhoua City Green Spaces Department, with materials from China.

It combines Far Eastern philosophy and harmonic composition of nature. A garden between dream and reality, in balance with nature...

“Mtatsminda view point over Tbilisi”

Mtatsminda (“Holy Mountain”) is the highest point in Tbilisi so it’s naturally a great place for panoramic views. The large terrace in front of Restaurant Funicular is a giant balcony over the city and the ideal place for photos.

“The view over Mtskheta from Jvari Monastery”

Jvari Monastery stands on the rocky mountaintop at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, overlooking the town of Mtskheta, one of the oldest cities of Georgia and its former capital.

It is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Tbilisi.

“The path of light”

A masterpiece of the Early and High Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Known as the burial site of the claimed Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and is among the most venerated places of worship in the region.

“Tbilisi Sulfur Baths”

Tbilisi’s baths are very different to those in Istanbul, Budapest, or anywhere else.

The location for the city was chosen because of the natural hot springs that course underground (Tbilisi means “warm place”). Persian-Ottoman style bath houses were erected atop this geothermal playground, most of them in Abanotubani, the Old Town’s iconic sulfur bath district.

One of Tbilisi’s most recognisable neighbourhoods, Abanotubani is characterised by the brick domes that pop out of the earth like molehills. This design allows natural light to stream into the bath rooms and provides ventilation for the sulfuric steam to escape.

“Chreli-Abano”

With its splendidly tiled mosque-like facade, Chreli-Abano (sometimes called Orbeliani Baths) is without a doubt the most iconic bathhouse in Tbilisi.

“Gondola lift to Narikala fortress”

Historically, Tbilisi had seven different aerial tramways, but all of them closed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Since 2012, Tbilisi has a modern, high-capacity gondola lift which operates between Rike Park and the Narikala fortress.

“Overlooking Tbilisi”

Narikala is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi and the Mtkvari (Kura) River.

The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulfur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi. On the lower court there is the recently restored St Nicholas church.

“Betlemi Street Stairs”

On the steep slopes between the Narikala fortress and the old town of Tbilisi, the Betlemi Street Stairs offer superb views of the city below, and the stunning Mother of Georgia statue nearby.

These streets meander between the old brick houses clinging to the slope, with a few shaded terraces allowing a well-deserved break.

“Kaleidoscope House”

In its heyday, mosaic stained glass was a common architectural feature of Tbilisi. Sadly most examples have been lost to time – but there are a few buildings that still boast gorgeous rainbow windows.

One of Tbilisi’s most recognisable landmarks, the “Kaleidoscope House” has large multi-coloured glass windows on all three sides of its front stairway. When the afternoon sun hits at just the right angle, it paints a colourful pattern onto the stairs and wooden balustrades.

“Zémo Kalaki”

Sultanishani Street is a good example of an anonymous street in Zemo Kalaki, the former royal district of Tbilisi.

It is completely faded, far from the not so distant animated streets and the famous caravanserais of the Silk Road.
