History.
Kote Abkhazi Street appeared in the Middle Ages and was called the middle market. This name was given to the street because it was located between two territories - the Upper District and the Lower District. Although there was no official market here, the market was very crowded and became a central place for trade, albeit unofficially.
At the end of the 19th century, when the list of Tbilisi streets was compiled, the market was recorded as Armenian Street and Pavel Tsitsianov Street. It was called by different names in different plans.
The street was reconstructed many times, which made it the largest transport artery. At the moment, it connects the city center and its southeastern part.
Today, Kote Abkhazi Street is one of the most cultural and commercial places in the city center. So, if you have some free time, be sure to visit Leselidze Street.
Here you will get a lot of positive emotions and see all the beauty of the capital of Georgia. You can relax and just enjoy the mesmerizing views of nature, walking alone or with your loved ones.
