Caption: It is said that in the 5th century, Vakhtang I Gorgassali, king of Iberia, then settled at the Court of Mtskheta, went out hunting with his royal falcon in the neighbourhood forests. The falcon allegedly caught a pheasant during the hunt, after which both birds fell into a nearby hot spring and died from burns.
Impressed by this unexpected discovery, the monarch decided to build a city and gave it the name of “თბილი”, meaning warm in the old Georgian dialect. Tpili (თბილი) became Tbili, then Tbilisi or warm location, in reference to the numerous sulphureted hot springs, coming out from the ground. Legend about Tbilisi

Picture of Narikala Fortress
Caption: Dominating the Old Town skyline, Narikala dates right back to the 4th century, when it was a Persian citadel. Most of the walls were built in the 8th century by the Arab emirs, whose palace was inside the fortress. Subsequently Georgians, Turks and Persians captured and patched up Narikala, but in 1827 a huge explosion of Russian munitions stored here wrecked the whole thing, and today it's a rather picturesque ruin, with only its walls largely intact.
