Cronache di Tbilisi
Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, was founded in the 5th century AD by the ancient Georgian ruler Vakhtang Gorgasali. The city's strategic location at the crossroads of the Silk Road led to a rich cultural evolution, with influences from Byzantine, Persian, and Russian empires visible in its architecture. The Narikala Fortress, a 4th-century citadel, still stands as a testament to the city's storied past. In the early 20th century, Tbilisi became a hub for avant-garde art and literature, earning it the nickname 'The Paris of the East.' Today, the city is a vibrant cultural melting pot, with a thriving arts scene and a rich gastronomic heritage.
