The Chronicle of Georgia is one of those places that truly surprises visitors. It’s not located in the busy centre of Tbilisi, and you won’t find big crowds like in the old town, but once you arrive, you’ll be glad you came.This huge stone monument stands on a hill near the Tbilisi Sea and offers peaceful views and powerful history. It was started in 1985 by well-known Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, and although it was never fully finished, it still feels complete in its way.
The tall, dark pillars tell stories from Georgia’s past, about kings, queens, and important religious moments, including the life of Jesus Christ. It’s quiet, artistic, and meaningful, all at once. If you’re booking Georgia tour packages, make sure to include a stop here. It’s a perfect place for travellers who want to see something beautiful, peaceful, and a little different from the usual spots.
You can visit the Chronicle of Georgia all year round, but the best time is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). During these seasons, the weather is nice, not too hot or too cold.
Mornings and evenings are perfect if you want soft sunlight and peaceful surroundings. Summers can be very hot, especially in the afternoon, and winters may feel cold and windy on the hill.
The Chronicle of Georgia is about 10–12 km from Tbilisi city centre.
1. The easiest way is to take a taxi or use apps like Bolt or Yandex. It usually takes 20–30 minutes from the city.
2. If you’re on a budget, you can take a bus toward the Tbilisi Sea area and then walk up to the monument, but the walk might be steep and signs are limited.
