The history of the avenue.
In the 18th century, there was a Kukiya forest near David Agmashenebeli Avenue. It was landscaped only in the 40s of the 19th century. Colonists from Germany who settled in its northern part made a huge contribution to the creation of the "new Kukiya". They supervised the construction of this new district.
In the middle of the 19th century, the village of "Kukiya" became one of the main components of the city of Tbilisi. At the same moment, the construction of Agmashenebeli Avenue begins. Initially, the street was named after the viceroy of the Tsar of the Caucasus, Mikhail Romanov. Thanks to him, 32 streets were landscaped in the area, a plane tree was planted, and the sidewalk was also covered.
When they reported the death of an outstanding Marxist, Georgy Plekhanov, they decided to rename the avenue in his honor. And only at the end of the 20th century the avenue was given the name of David Agmashenebeli. At the beginning of 2010, the restoration of the avenue and the restoration of buildings began. A couple of years later, the grand opening took place.
