The old town is home to a jumble of architectural styles: Russian classical and art nouveau. (None of the buildings here is older than 1795 when the Persians burned Tbilisi to the ground)

Narikala fortress and the Bath District (Abanotubani) of Tbilisi’s Old Town
![Page 31: Georgia11 Tbilisi A walking tour6](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Abanotubani bathesView from Narikala
The sulfur bath has been a tradition in Tbilisi going back hundreds of years. The city’s abundance of sulfur springs have been harnessed and used to naturally heat the pools which bathers use to unwind, relax and gossip about local news
![Page 32: Georgia11 Tbilisi A walking tour6](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Typically built into the ground, the baths look to the passerby like brick bulbs sprouting from the Earth. When looking for one, simply follow your nose to the distinctive sulfuric odor

Abanotubani is an important historic part of the city — the place, where according to a legend the King of Iberia, Vakhtang Gorgasali’s falcon fell, leading to a discovery of the hot springs and, subsequently, to founding of a new capital

One of the town’s most notable facilities is the Orbeliani Baths. With its distinctive blue mosaic exterior the inside features a pleasant atmosphere for tourists

“Not since I was born have I encountered the luxury of Tiflis’ baths.” Pushkin, 1829
Famous bathers include Dumas and Pushkin; the latter enjoyed them so much that he penned an epithet you can see on a plaque outside the Orbeliani baths today.

Although the city has been destroyed and rebuilt some 29 times, the layout of the Old Town is largely intact with narrow alleys and big crooked houses built around courtyards
