Built around the hot sulphur springs of Abanotubani, Tbilisi grew into Georgia’s political and cultural capital. The Mtkvari River runs through a city of steep hills, old quarters and broad modern avenues, with Narikala Fortress standing high above the historic centre. Brick-domed bathhouses remain a defining feature of Abanotubani, the district associated with Tbilisi’s name, derived from the Georgian word for “warm”. Balconied houses, Orthodox churches and contemporary galleries give the capital a layered character shaped by Georgian, Persian, Russian and European influences.
