The capital city of Georgia has a rich history that stretches back 1500 years. However, it’s a local custom to measure time in centuries rather than years, acknowledging the deep footprint of their past. Before Tbilisi came into prominence, Mtskheta served as the capital of the ancient Kartli Kingdom.
Tbilisi’s name originates from the word თბილი (translates to ‘warm’ in English). Among the locals, a favorite tale is told, inspired by the city’s famed hot sulfur springs. It was reportedly discovered accidentally by King Vakhtang Gorgasali during a hunting expedition in the 5th century. After his servants found a falcon and pheasant in a steaming hot spring, the astounded King decided to move the nation’s capital from Mtskheta to this remarkable location.
Although the city evolved over time, you can still witness the multicultural heritage in the bath district area, that houses a Muslim Mosque, an Armenian church, a Jewish Synagogue, and Georgian churches coexisting peacefully. Despite significant changes in the city’s ethnic composition over time, Old Tbilisi retains the aura of its rich history.
