History in monumental form
Above the Tbilisi Sea, immense sculpted pillars give this landmark a striking silhouette. It reveals a different side of Tbilisi, beyond the intimate streets of its old town.
Its story through time
In this modern memorial, Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli turned the country’s past into a monumental visual narrative. His work places historical remembrance within the landscape of northern Tbilisi.
Architecture and character
Tall pillars, richly worked reliefs and broad stairways define the composition. Repeated vertical forms frame the open sky, while the scale and sculptural detail invite both a distant view and closer observation.
