Description

Abanotubani, Tbilisi photo

The name of the city Tbilisi refers to its hot springs, as \'tbili\' means \'warm\' in Georgian. There are many hot spring sulphur baths that still operate, the domed roof building being one of them. Abanotubani is the bath district in the old part of the city. The tall brick tower in the middle is a Mosque and on the top right is the city\'s fortress that dates back to 4th century.
