Kartlis Tskhovreba

Tbilisi

Kartlis Tskhovreba, which means «Life of Kartli», is a monument created by the Georgian sculptor, painter and architect Zurab Tsereteli, born in Tbilisi in 1934. The construction of the monument began in 1985. The impressive monument, sometimes also called «The Georgian Royal Annals», is located above the city’s outskirts Gldani and Temka.

The 30 meters high Kartlis Tskhovreba Monument consists of various pillars. The top part of those columns shows the most important kings, queens and other heroes from Georgian history, the bottom part shows different stories from the life of Jesus Christ. Next to the monument, there is a Georgian Orthodox church and a small café which is open at least during the summer months.
