About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, capitale della Georgia, scorre in una gola sotto una fortezza: case con balconi, bagni sulfurei e audaci edifici moderni.

La città vecchia si raccoglie lungo il fiume Mtkvari, con le strette vie fiancheggiate da balconi di legno intagliati, chiese e enoteche. Abanotubani, il quartiere dei bagni, è coronato da cupole di mattoni sopra sorgenti sulfuree, e le mura della fortezza di Narikala dominano il tutto, raggiungibili in funivia o con una salita ripida. La statua della Madre della Georgia si erge sul crinale, con una spada e una coppa di vino in mano.
