"Narikala Fortress, situated on a hill overlooking the historic district of Old Tbilisi, is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and a symbol of its rich history. Originally built in the 4th century by the Persians, the fortress has undergone numerous renovations and expansions over the centuries, resulting in its current form as a sprawling complex of walls, towers, and ramparts. The fortress offers panoramic views of Tbilisi, with vistas stretching across the Mtkvari River and encompassing the city's diverse architectural landscape, including colorful traditional houses, elegant churches, and modern skyscrapers. Visitors to Narikala Fortress can explore its ancient walls, climb its towers, and immerse themselves in the history and legends that surround this historic site."

"Old mediaval fortress of Tbilisi. It is good point to watch the city from above, especially in the evenings with lights of the city. You can reach the fortress by walk or there is a cable car reaches the castle from the Rike Park."
