At its peak it housed 20,000 people. Its importance declined after King David the Builder retook Tbilisi in 1122 and it was irrevocably destroyed by the Mongols in 1240.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgiens huvudstad, ligger längs en flodravin under en fästning och blandar gamla hus med balkonger, svavelbad och djärva moderna landmärken.

Gamla staden samlas längs floden Mtkvari, med smala gator kantade av snidade trébalkonger, kyrkor och vinbarer. Badkvarteret Abanotubani kröns av tegelkupoler över svavelkällor, och murarna i Narikalafästningen blickar ut över allt, nåbara med linbana eller en brant promenad. Statyn Georgiens moder står på åsen med ett svärd och en skål vin.
