Tbilisi - The City of Great Charm, Tbilisi, Georgia

The country was founded in the fourth century BC by king Farnavaz the first. The remains of the fortress Narikala and defensive walls from the fourth century still overlook the city from the steep cliff on the banks of Kura river. Nowadays, Tbilisi is the metropolis of the region and has a population of more than 1.5 million inhabitants.
