Description

Please note that the gallery will be closed for three days, from October 30 through November 1, inclusive.

Depictions of Georgia and references to the country on old European maps date back almost as far as European cartography itself.

The Golden Fleece, Colchis, Iberia, Georgia, Georgian kingdoms and principalities, and fortified towns are just a few of the fascinating discoveries awaiting you on a journey through the world of ancient maps at Mappa Cartographica.

Mappa Cartographica's collection of old European maps features unique works created between the 13th and 20th centuries. Many of these pieces belong to Mappa Cartographica's prestigious Golden Collection and can only be found in Georgia as part of our collection.

During the tour, you will explore original printed editions of maps representing ancient, medieval, and classical European cartography, along with the historical information they contain about Georgia.

The tours will take place from October through December 2026 and will be led by Sulkhan Saladze, Director of Mappa Cartographica.

⏳ Duration: 60–70 minutes.

Important Information:

• Children under 10 must be accompanied by a parent or another adult.

• Purchased tickets are non-refundable.

• Tours will be conducted in Georgian.

Location

Tbilisi
Tbilisi is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of around 1.2 million people. Tbilisi was founded in the fifth century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, and since then has served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Because of its location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the lucrative Silk Road, throughout history, Tbilisi has been a point of contention among various global powers. To this day, the city's location ensures its position as an important transit route for energy and trade projects. Tbilisi's history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of medieval, neoclassical, Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, Stalinist, and Modern structures. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of multiple cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though its population is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian.
