spreads over more than 1 sq km, with wonderful views and a new amusement park
that includes what Georgians consider Europe's highest roller coaster (60m
high).

the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. Due to its
historical significance and numerous ancient monuments, the "Historical

Sioni Cathedral is situated in historic Sionis Kucha (Sioni Street) in downtown Tbilisi,
with its eastern façade fronting the right embankment of the Mtkvari
River. It was initially built in the 6th-7th centuries.
Since then, it has been destroyed by foreign invaders and reconstructed several
times. The current church is based on a 13th-century version with some changes
from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Sioni Cathedral was the main Georgian
Orthodox Cathedral and the seat of Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia until the Holy Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in 2004
Narikhala Fortress
The fortress was established in the 4th century
as Shuris-tsikhe (i.e., "Invidious Fort"). It was considerably
expanded by the Umayyads in the 7th century and later, by king David the Builder (1089-1125). The Mongols renamed it "Narin Qala" (i.e.,
"Little Fortress"). Most of extant fortifications date from the 16th
and 17th centuries. In 1827, parts of the fortress were damaged by an
earthquake and demolished.
