Very nice Soviet monument that is integral part of the landscape of Tbilisi. You can see it from several angles while walking around town. At first it was an allegorical wooden statue, that was later covered with aluminum to better resist the elemts. In one hand she holds a plate with grapes to welcome friends, in the other a sword to defend the city from unwelcome guests.
A cable car went up to the monument. A great opportunity to visit the Solopak ridge. Excellent panoramic view of Tbilisi. There are observation decks here. Street musicians are playing. In order to use the cable car, you need to purchase a Tbilisi metro card. It is sold directly at the ticket office of the lift. The cost of the trip is 1 GEL. The station is located in Rike Park, near the Peace Bridge.
The monumental statue "Mother Georgia" (Kartli's Mother or Grandfather's Kartlis) is one of the most impressive sights of Tbilisi, which is definitely worth a visit. This majestic figure towering over the city symbolizes the strength, hospitality and protection of the Georgian people. Installed in 1958, the statue represents a woman in national dress holding a cup of wine for friends in one hand and a sword for enemies in the other, which perfectly reflects the dual nature of the Georgian people.
