Freedom Square in the center of Tbilisi has undergone several name changes in its 200 year history. Built in the early 19th century in a neo-classical style with Moorish architectural elements, it was originally named Pashkevich-Erivanskaya Square in honor of Ivan Paskevich, a Ukrainian general of the Russian Imperial Army who had conquered Erivan (present-day Yerevan in Armenia) for the Russian Empire. In 1907, the square was the location for an audacious and bloody bank robbery, involving Joseph Stalin, which netted the equivalent of 4 million US dollars in today’s money. Following the collapse of the Russian Empire the square was re-named Freedom Square during the foundation of the First Georgian Republic in 1918 but renamed, first “Beria Square”, and then “Lenin Square” during Soviet times. Following the restoration of Georgia’s independence, the square reverted to the name given to it in 1918 during the foundation of the First Georgian Republic – Freedom Square. In 2006, the Freedom Monument, commonly known as the St. George Statue, was erected in the centre of the square. Designed by Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, it is dedicated to the freedom and independence of the Georgian nation.

Cathédrale de Svetitskhoveli
La cathédrale de Svetitskhoveli est l'église chrétienne orthodoxe orientale située dans l'ancienne capitale de Mtskheta. Chef-d'œuvre du haut Moyen Âge, Svetitskhoveli est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. C'est actuellement le deuxième plus grand édifice religieux de Géorgie, après la cathédrale de la Sainte-Trinité. Une légende religieuse, liée à la fondation de cette église, raconte qu'Élioz, un citoyen de Mtskheta, aurait trouvé la tunique de Jésus-Christ à Jérusalem. Sa sœur, Sidonia, mourut aussitôt après avoir touché la tunique. Elle fut enterrée enveloppée dedans. Bientôt, un grand arbre, le cèdre du Liban, poussa sur la tombe de Sidonia. Lorsque le souverain Mirian décida de construire un temple à l'endroit où la tunique du Dieu était enterrée, le cèdre fut abattu. On fabriqua sept colonnes à partir de l'arbre et on commença à les installer dans l'église. Six colonnes étaient en place, mais la septième ne l'était pas ; elle était suspendue dans les airs. Sainte Nino, baptiste de Géorgie, pria toute la nuit, puis la colonne, « sans intervention humaine », se figea sur place et… commença à répandre un onguent sacré. Le chrême miraculeux guérissait les patients atteints de maladies graves. D'où le nom du temple – Svetitskhoveli ; en géorgien, cela signifie « le pilier vivifiant ». La structure actuelle fut achevée en 1029 par l'architecte géorgien médiéval Arsukisdze.
