Mtatsminda takes its name from the Holy Mountain that rises above the city. On its slope stands the Pantheon, where many of Georgia's great writers and public figures rest, and at the top is Mtatsminda Park, reached by funicular and known for its views over the whole city.
The district holds much of central Tbilisi: Rustaveli Avenue with the Parliament, the Opera and the Rustaveli Theatre, and quiet side streets of 19th-century houses with carved wooden balconies, courtyards and high ceilings.
Mtatsminda suits buyers who want to live in the center, close to culture, restaurants and government offices, and investors who want an apartment that is easy to rent to visitors. Classic flats in historic buildings sit next to carefully restored and new boutique buildings.
