Due to its historical significance and several cultural monuments, it is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It was the capital of the early Georgian Kingdom of Iberia from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD. However, Mtskheta continued to serve as the coronation and burial place for most kings of Georgia until the end of the kingdom in the 19th century. The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (literally the Cathedral of the Living Pillar) is currently the second-largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity cathedral. Known as the burial site of Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli is one of the most venerated places of worship in the region.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgiens hovedstad, ligger langs en flodkløft under en fæstning og blander gamle huse med altaner, svovlbade og dristige moderne vartegn.

Den gamle by samler sig langs Mtkvari-floden, med smalle gader kantet af udskårne træaltaner, kirker og vinbarer. Badekvarteret Abanotubani er kronet af murstenskupler over svovlkilder, og murene i Narikala-fæstningen ser ud over det hele, nået med tovbane eller en stejl gåtur. Statuen Georgiens Moder står på højderyggen med et sværd og en skål vin.
