Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and the largest city in the country. It is on the banks of the Kurá River and has 1,345,000 inhabitants.
Founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the monarch of the ancient Caucasian Iberia region, also known as Kartli; Tbilisi has been, with some interruptions, the capital of Georgia. The history of the city can be seen by its architecture: the style of Rustaveli avenue, designed by Baron Haussmann, and that of the center, are mixed with that of the narrow streets of the medieval Narikala district. Tbilisi is an important industrial, social and cultural center. The city is a major transit route for world energy and trade. Strategically located between Europe and Asia and formerly situated on the Silk Road, Tbilisi has often been a key point in the relations of rival empires.
The demographics of the city are diverse and historically it has been home to people of different ethnicities, religion and culture. Recently, Tbilisi has been known for the peaceful Rose Revolution, which took place in Freedom Square and nearby locations.
The city has an international airport. Its main tourist attractions are the Narikala Fortress that dominates the city from its height, Sameba Cathedral, Freedom Square, Sioni Cathedral, Metekhi, Narikala, the Parliament of Georgia, Rustaveli Avenue, the Opera House. and the Ballet, Anchiskhati Basilica, Mtatsminda Mountain and Kashveti Church, close to which are the Georgian National Museum, the Historical Museum and numerous art galleries. The city was immortalized by painters Niko Pirosmani and Lado Gudiashvili.

Tiflis es un importante centro industrial, social y cultural. La ciudad es una importante ruta de tránsito de la energía mundial y el comercio. Localizada estratégicamente entre Europa y Asia y antiguamente situada en la Ruta de la Seda, Tiflis ha sido a menudo un punto clave en las relaciones de imperios rivales.

Hola Luis,
Wonderful picture that combined modern architecture with older style, mainly about fortification atop the hill on the far side.
The sight also include part of the river that crosses town.
Vividly presented.
Buenas tardes,
Ike

Hello Luis,
Excellent point of view to present us the Narikala fortress and the beautiful neighbourhood at its feet. Beautiful with the two cabins of the Aerial Tramway in the sky, next to the Kartlis Deda statue.
I like the brightness and the different colours of the photo.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Luis,
This is a view I remember well and with fondness. I was staying at a hotel up the hill behind you, so I saw and admired this view every time I was walking into town. The cable railway was not yet ready in those days (2012), which I regret. It's a fantastic view and also a well balanced photo with excellent colours and sharpness (and three red cars!).
I hope you are feeling well.
Best regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
I see you started another series. This destination is quite popular among people on TrekEarth, several TE members have showed photos but I didn't have a chance to visit it yet so I am looking forward to seeing your high quality reportage as usually.
LOvely panoramic view of the fragment of the capital city. The fortress on the top looks stunning, we can further enjoy it in the workshop as well.
Great point of view optimally used here.
Excellent work,
M

Hi Luis
Great viewpoint of the city skyline with tremendous interesting features - especially I love the range of colours and mix of new and old buildings. Speck of vivid colours counterpoints giving that extra punch. Splendid capture.
Best regards

Hello Luis, Like some other trekkers who were in Tbilisi, IO recognize this iconic view. We see here Narikala fortress, some churches and the cable car. Also, the monument of Mother Georgia is visible. Splendid presentation. I was twice in Tbilisi and I loved this city.
Best regards MAlgo
