- Metekhi Cathedral - The Virgin Mary Metekhi Church is situated on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, atop a cliff plateau. The initial church at this site was likely constructed by Vakhtang Gorgasali, symbolically mirroring the church on the Virgin Mary’s tomb in Gethsemane Garden, Jerusalem. Legend has it that in the 7th century, Catholicos Kirion moved Saint Shushanik’s remains to this church. Metekhi Church is steeped in history: Queen Tamar prayed here before the 1195 Shamkori battle. The church was burned in 1235 when the town castle head set Isani ablaze, but King Demeter II later restored it. It suffered damage from a thunderstorm and was repaired by Muslim King Shakhnavaz, who used it to store gunpowder. This function continued in 1690 when Erekle I Nazaralikhani handed the church to the Persians along with the castle. Erekle II later renovated the church, and liturgical services resumed between 1748 and 1753.

- Narikala Fortress - Access the aerial cable car station to reach Narikhala Fortress, which dates to the 4th century. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking city views. Known as the Mother Fortress of Tbilisi, Narikala is a historic symbol of the city’s defense. Established in the 4th century, around the time of the city’s founding, it was initially called Shuris-tsikhe (Invidious Fort). The name Narikala may derive from a Persian word for citadel, or from the Mongolian term for “little fortress.” The Arabs significantly expanded it in the 7th and 8th centuries, building the Emir’s palace within its walls. King David the Builder further extended the fortress in the 11th century. Most current fortifications date from the 16th and 17th centuries. An earthquake damaged it in 1827, and it was not restored. St. Nikolos Church, within the fortress walls, dates from the 12th century and was renovated in 1996. Narikala provides some of the best panoramic views of the city.

- Anchiskhati Basilica - Visit the Anchiskhati Basilica in the historical district. Dating back to the 6th century, it was originally named after the Virgin Mary’s birth and is Tbilisi’s oldest surviving church. It was later renamed Anchiskhati when Peter Meskhi moved the image of Christ not made by hand from the Anchi Church to this one in 1675. The church suffered damage during Iranian raids in the 15th-17th centuries but was renovated in the 17th century by Catholicon Domenici. After the Soviet regime was established in Georgia, liturgical ceremonies at Anchiskhati Church ceased. It housed a museum of handcrafted wares and later an art studio. Liturgical ceremonies resumed in 1989.
