Not far from Tbilisi Sea, is a monument called The Chronicle of Georgia (also called History Memorial of Georgia), which from a distance looks very much like Britain's Stonehenge. It was created by Zurab Tsereteli, a Georgian born Soviet-trained sculptor. The build started in 1985 and it is still unfinished.

Climb hundreds of stairs to appreciate just how huge the monument is- vast black 30m-tall columns covered in words, symbols and images. Inside, you'll find sculptures and texts (in Georgian) dealing with Georgian royalty and religious history. The exact meaning behind it all (unless you read Georgian) has to be guessed at, but the feel of the places as something powerful, and medieval is impressive, as is the view over Tbilisi Sea. 

Though well-visited, it is rarely crowded with tourists and the Georgian authorities have yet to consider it a spot worth promoting or explaining via multi-lingual signs. We wait in hope!

How to get there? Take the metro until Grmagele station and then Bus 60 (0.5 GEL), or a taxi.
