Beschrijving
Explore the Armenian heritage of Tbilisi on a walking tour. Discover the community’s influence on the city’s culture, architecture, and history.
Explore the rich history of Armenians in Tbilisi, a community that has played a decisive role in shaping the city. Discover how Armenians helped define the face of the city as much as Georgians, Russians, Jews, or Germans did.
Begin your journey with a walk through a vanished but not forgotten page of history. Hear the voices of those who made Tbilisi what it is today. Receive cards with authentic quotes from residents and visitors of old Tiflis — from Armenian benefactors to French travelers. Share stories about important events, people, and buildings in Tbilisi’s history.
See the place where the city’s first theater once stood, the entrance hall of a house where an Armenian priest lived with his family, the caravanserai where the Armenians of Tbilisi hosted a grand reception for the heir to the Russian throne, the house where the painter Ivan Aivazovsky once lived, and a street where every property belonged to members of the Armenian community.
Learn why Armenians hold a festival in honor of the poet Sayat-Nova in Georgian Tbilisi, who was the wealthiest Armenian in Tiflis at the beginning of the 19th century, how many Armenian churches once stood in old Tiflis, why Armenians so often held the office of city mayor, and how Armenians gained so many privileges from Georgian kings that they became some of the most respected people in the city.
