Chronicle of Georgia

The Chronicle of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს მატიანე, romanized: sakartvelos mat'iane) (or History Memorial of Georgia) is a monument located on Keeni Hill near the Tbilisi sea. It was created by sculptor Zurab Tsereteli in 1985 but was never fully finished. The monument sits at the top of a large set of stairs, overlooking the northern part of the city from different directions. There are 16 pillars that are between 30–35 meters tall and the top half features kings, queens, and heroes while the bottom part depicts stories from the life of Christ. Beside bronze[1] pillars, there is a grapevine cross of St. Nino, who first brought Christianity to Georgia, and a chapel.Les mer
