METEKHI BRIDGE (METEKHIS KHIDI)
This bridge was a major strategic position and a place marked by a tragic Islamic history.
It was a major strategic position: whoever took this bridge, took the north bank of Tbilisi and half of Georgia. For a long time, this bridge was its only point of access. It is also a place marked by a tragic history: the Khorezmian shah Jalal ad-Din in 1226 and the Persians in 1522 carried out forced conversions to Islam. Those who refused were thrown into the river. Here you'll see the statue of Vakhtang Gorgasali, founder of the city.
