Tbilisi is a breathtaking city situated in a valley in the Republic of Georgia. The city, rich in art and architecture, goes along Kura’s riverbank and makes sure it attracts every tourist who visits it.
The architecture of Tbilisi dates back to the eighteenth as well as the nineteenth century. The houses were old and aesthetics, the bridges and skyscrapers of the city were attractive, modern, and fascinated people to explore every part of it. Where you think that places lose their real beauty just because we keep on renovating them, there are some parts in the city of Tbilisi that you may not recognize if you haven’t been there for a long time. The old down alongside the Narikala Fortress in Tbilisi is one such place that has been renovated. However, some parts retain their true essence and that’s what makes the city more beautiful.
There are various buildings, old and cracked, exuding vintage vibes. The paint from these walls seems to fade at every point, with layers of paint coming out of the walls, making the buildings looks authentic, classy, and weary. Places in the city, both large and small, have very old wooden doors and balconies. The courtyards of those places have biographies of the family that lived there and they have been existing for decades.
Here, we have put together some amazing architectural photographs that would make you want to explore this city right about now.

The pictures you will find here will be mostly of homes or the entrance to homes where people lived. A city that changes as fast as Tbilisi, people were afraid that these old places will either be ruined or renovated. Where the elegance of the old town of the city attracts you and rivers call you to have a peaceful time, you will be really lucky if you set off to explore the city and found places in their original nature.

Good photography means you should know the right angles and how to click in the perfect lighting. Of course, the location matters a lot too. Remember to always edit the picture you take as well. One such famous photographer is Robert Paladori who takes breathtaking images of urban interiors and environments. He explores places right after disasters take place. Another photographer is Elia Locardi who is known for her travel photographs and awesome creation.
