The mother fortress is located on Sololaki Mountain in the south of the old city of Tbilisi. It is also called the Nariqala fortress. Climbing the fortress overlooks the entire city. It is the oldest local fortification and is the defense line surrounding the city of Tbilisi. The Mother Fortress was built in the 4th century AD, and most of the buildings that visitors see today were rebuilt after the 17th century. The church of Saint Nikolos in the fortress, built in the 12th century, is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from the Bible and Georgian history. The Mother Fortress is now one of the most important sights in Tbilisi, and you can come early in the morning, when there are fewer tourists and the sunrise can be seen. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the statue of the Mother of Georgia, and you can overlook the charming night of the city at night.
