So, this ancient fortress played a significant role in the history of Tbilisi which reflects even today when you watch it. This fortress is also called Mother Fortress of Tbilisi. In those times it was a symbol of Tbilisi’s defense. The fortress was established at the same time around when the city of Tbilisi itself was founded in 4th century. After that it saw expansion in 7th -8th centuries by Arabs. Arabs built the Emir’s palace within the walls of the fortress. After that it was further beautified by different kings and most of the exciting fortification happened in 16th and 17th centuries. After the earthquake in 1827 partly the fortress was demolished and it was not resorted to its early glory. It was renovated in 1996 and then it replaced the original church which was built in 13th century which got destroyed in a fire. Today, the Narikala offers you some of the best panoramic views of the city from the top. The internal part of the fortress and the church are also beautiful.
