Chronicle of Georgia: Pillar Bases with Relief Panels

Pillar Bases with Relief Panels. Locals and travellers often call the ring of giant pillars the “Georgian Stonehenge” — though here every stone tells a story. A 360° view from the upper plaza, where the giant pillars stand in a ring on the summit of the hill. The capital’s name comes from the Georgian word “tbili”, warm — a memory of the sulphur springs that still bathe the old town.
