Ancient Crossroads of East and West
Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, has stood at the crossroads of Europe and Asia for over 1,500 years. The city's name literally means "warm place," referring to its sulfuric hot springs that have attracted settlers since ancient times.
A City of Layers
From this elevated viewpoint, the layers of Tbilisi's history become visible. The dense cluster of terracotta rooftops belongs to the Old Town district, where narrow cobblestone streets wind past medieval churches, traditional wooden balconied houses, and centuries-old bathhouses. The Mtkvari River cuts through the urban fabric, while modern development spreads toward the surrounding hills.

The distinctive telecommunications tower atop Mtatsminda Mountain has become a modern landmark overlooking the ancient city. At 274.5 meters tall, it dominates the skyline and serves as a symbol of contemporary Georgia while watching over one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
