Freedom Square is a square in the center of Tbilisi, which is conveniently considered the geographical center of the city. All trips around the city should start from here, especially since there is a tourist information office here. It is located in the heart of the city and is a platform with organized circular traffic. Rustaveli Avenue — the transport "artery" of the capital, Pushkin, Georgy Leonidze, Galaktion Tabidze, Kote Abkhazi and Shalva Dadiani Streets lead to it, and a 10-minute walk from Freedom Square in the east direction runs a pedestrian bridge over the Kura River — the Bridge of Peace.
There was a time when the territory of the modern square was just a space in front of the city's Kojor gate, through which two roads passed — Kojorskaya and Digomskaya. In those early years, the square was called Erivan Square in honor of General Paskevich-Erivan. This place has changed its name and occupied territory on the map many times. And only at the end of the 19th century the place was renamed Freedom Square, which suits her perfectly.
The last time the central square declared itself in 2003, the largest rally in the history of the state took place here. This led to the overthrow of the current government. This event announced this place publicly and once again confirmed the name.
In 2006, a monument was erected on the square depicting St. George, who is the patron and defender of Georgia and its inhabitants, piercing a dragon with a spear.
