Georgian Stonehenge in Tbilisi is a monument by the authorship of Zurab Tsereteli "Chronicles of Georgia".
One of the modern sights of Georgia, which is worth seeing in Tbilisi, is the large-scale monument "Chronicles of Georgia". When you look at it, you get the idea that it is somewhat similar to Stonehenge. The monument "Chronicles of Georgia" was created in 1980
The monument "Chronicle of Georgia" is a huge monument consisting of stone columns. In appearance, a guess immediately appears about its second name - Stonehenge Tbilisi. But, no matter how surprising it may be, there is a third "Chronicle of Georgia". And if you are looking for something to see in Georgia, then write down the address.
The facility is located in the city of Tbilisi, Nadzaladevi district on Temka, on Mount Keni. The mountain is a great landmark for finding attractions. The monument was created in 1980 by sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, who is famous for large-scale works of art.
Looking at the monument, you can literally read scenes depicting historical and religious events, as well as some literary works. Religious themes include compositions in bronze and stone about the main Christian holidays, such as Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Resurrection, Annunciation, Pentecost, Transfiguration.
There are also scenes from the life of Christ, and some saints revered by the Georgian church: "the passion of Shushanik" (4th century), "The Mother of the plow". Going around in a circle and wandering between the columns, you can consider the famous story of Nino, the 13th Holy Assyrian Fathers. Of course, all the famous outstanding personalities who have made a great contribution to the development of the state in one way or another are depicted here: kings, poets, writers.
Thus, this is a great place to visually get acquainted with the entire history of the country in one place. But, in addition, it is worth coming here for a beautiful view of the city and the Tbilisi Sea. In fact, this is a lake, but its size is impressive, so for locals it is the sea.
Probably, it's not even worth mentioning what kind of photos are obtained here, showing the greatness of history, compared to the growth of an ordinary person. This monument can truly be included in the list of "the most beautiful places in Georgia".
The sights of Georgia in this place are complemented by a church. So, if you have already inspected the monument and admired the view from the height, go to the operating Church of the Most Holy Theotokos. Everyone who comes here begins to look at the vitreous enamel frescoes.
This art has been in Georgian culture for many years, so the masters managed to create a wide variety of colors. In general, the scale, scope, history, art and view are what it is worth coming here for.
