Mtatsminda Pantheon

This pantheon is very small - you could see it on 15 minutes. I added photos of non headstones and that is most of themand the church is not in good condition. Not really worth seeing. But definitely take a cab because the funicular is 12 + card and walking is very strenuous

The curch Panteon is beautiful place but don't use the funicular. You should walk or taxi. At the funicular they will tell you"pay ticket and go up", but that is big mistake. Waist of money. Around church is a graveyard for famous e writers.

Nice churches, similar to many others. Difference here is the many tombs of famous people ( politicians, actors, musicians etc) buried in the grounds, many with ornate and interesting tombstones.

Mtatsminda Pantheon is one of the most peaceful and meaningful places in Tbilisi. The atmosphere is calm, views are incredible, and walking through the monuments really makes you feel the history and the people who shaped the country. My fav place 🇬🇪

"I strongly advise against visiting this park due to its numerous shortcomings. The funicular, a crucial mode of transportation, is perpetually under maintenance, resulting in a 20-minute wait per stop with no air conditioning. The park's failure to maintain the tram despite collecting money from visitors is unacceptable. Once inside, visitors are forced to wait in line within a building without air conditioning, and the overpriced drinks only add to the frustration. The games and attractions are neglected, making the park's niceties irrelevant. The theme park appears abandoned, and the prices are exorbitant. Our experience was marred by a 20-minute wait to ascend and a grueling one-hour wait to descend, with staff providing misleading information and showing a lack of organization. The waiting area lacked air conditioning, causing discomfort. When we requested a refund, the staff became hostile. The park's redeeming qualities are its vastness, cleanliness, and lush greenery. However, the toilets are small and lack basic amenities like tissues. The only positive aspect is the access to a nearby church with a scenic view. Adventurous individuals can climb up and down, but beware of the steep hill's potential to cause loss of balance. Overall, this park is a disappointment, and I do not recommend it."

Place of peace. Graveyard of significant/meaningful persons of Georgian history. Small church inside the cemetery. It's a good opportunity to catch your breath all the way up to the Amusement park. It's laying roughly half way to Mtatsminda park

There is a steep hill road to reach it. It has an excellent view of the city from above. It can also be reached by Funicular, but since the price of the Funicular is high, it is preferable to go here on foot. There are mausoleums of important names for the city here.

The Mtatsminda Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures is a necropolis in Tbilisi, Georgia, where some of the most prominent writers, artists, scholars, and national heroes of Georgia are buried. It is located in the churchyard around St David's Church "Mamadaviti" on the slope of Mount Mtatsminda and was officially established in 1929. Atop the mountain is Mtatsminda Park, an amusement park owned by the municipality of Tbilisi. Its origin dates back to the Soviet times and it illustrates the contested character of the Mtatsminda Pantheon, Gamsakhurdia had earlier written that "Judas and Christ are mentioned together in every epoch, but nowhere before has it happened that Judas was buried next to Christ. This could only happen in our Georgian Mtatsminda cemetery. The Pantheon was officially opened in 1929 to mark the centenary of Griboyedov's death during his time as the Russian ambassador. The Pantheon was conceived of as a symbol of collective identity of Georgia.Since then, several illustrious Georgians have been buried or reburied there. The Pantheon is administered by the Government of Tbilisi and is frequented by locals as well as the city's visitors.
