Tbilisi Entrance Halls

Sometimes holidays are worth for developing great ideas!


Some days later, I got to know that there are so much not so popular and beautiful places in Tbilisi, that everybody should get to know!

So here I am, one of the enthusiasts who wants you to get more information about the historical sights in Tbilisi.
As you already know, Georgia and Tbilisi is located between Asia and Europe. Both cultures were identified in every monument, especially on architecture of buildings.

Today I want to tell you about the entrance halls in Tbilisi. 
 


First Georgian entrance halls were identified in 1850-60 years. Before that people in Tbilisi used the balcony in order to enter the house.
The entrance halls year by year were developing like the initial face of the family, living in the house. So Georgians tried to make them as beautiful, as possible. They used mosaics, drawings, different writings on the floor, like - SALVE (to greet, to salute).
People used one entrance hall for the different flats, but usually, there were one or more entrance halls in a house.



If you ever see them, you will adore the carves all around the doors and all around the buildings and the walls.
On the floor you may see the flowers and the stars, they were like carpets. Entrance halls had its own heatings and lightings.


All in all, most of the entrance halls are made in the style of classicism and renaissance. The compositions are made in the effect of the "trompe d`oeil".

These entrance halls are located in the center of Tbilisi, in the districts like: Sololaki, Chugureti, Mtatsminda and Vere.

So from now on, every Wednesday, you may read my posts about the beautiful entrance halls of Georgia and Tbilisi. I will provide you with the best destinations and with the maps in order to get there simply. At the same time, I will show you the photos, and how beautiful they are.

If you want to see the whole history and find out every building, destination and the photo of the place, there is very interesting book about that named: "Tbilisi, Entrance Halls". You can purchase them in the bookshops in Tbilisi (it is publicized n English).
