About Tbilissi

Tbilissi, capitale de la Géorgie, s'étire dans une gorge sous une forteresse : maisons à balcons, bains sulfureux et audaces modernes.

La vieille ville se rassemble le long de la rivière Mtkvari, ses rues étroites bordées de balcons de bois sculptés, d'églises et de bars à vin. Abanotubani, le quartier des bains, est couronné de dômes de brique au-dessus de sources sulfureuses, et les murs de la forteresse de Narikala dominent le tout, accessibles par téléphérique ou par une montée raide. La statue de la Mère de la Géorgie se dresse sur la crête, une épée et une coupe de vin à la main.
