Tbilisi |
Tbilisi
was founded in the middle of the 5th century
by the king Vakhtang Gorgasali. Tbilisi
was named for its springs – the Georgian
word for ‘warm” is tbili. Tbilisi
has survived over 40 invasions by the Persians,
Arabs, Mongols, Seljuk and Ottoman Turks,
and tribes from the North Caucasus, but
has always been able to rise again.
In 1801 Georgia was occupied by Russia and
Tbilisi became the administrative center
of the Georgian Province, and later the
headquarters of the Commander in Chief of
Russian forces in the Caucasus. Since 1875
it was the residence of the governor general
of the Caucasus. |

During the early nineteenth century Tbilisi
gradually transformed from a medieval feudal
town into a European bourgeoisie city. In
the second half of the 19th century the
Georgian theatre resumed its activities,
and a Russian theater and Italian opera
house came into being. In addition, a public
library, a museum and botanical garden and
observatory were founded.
The city’s population kept growing,
leading towards the establishment of new
districts. In 1918 Tbilisi became the capital
of independent Georgia, but in 1921 the
red army crushed the new Republic. After
70 years, in 1991, Georgia regained its
independence and the ancient city of Tbilisi
is the capital of present day Georgia..
