never understood why during 30 years no goverment or mayor ever renovated narikala, one of the most known landmarks in whole georgia being torned and in ruins,imagine how beautifull would it be to have fully detailed renovated fortress in a view and it wount even cost that much

Everything that the Georgian Dream touches gets ruined. So it is better if they don’t do it

It would coast billions, take decades and would be an nightmare from an archaeologist perspective, while the major landmark would be more or less closed to the public. No on an insane level as the Parthenon, but close enough for a poor country as Georgia.

Better focus on preservation of the existing structure und focus an public infrastructure, with the latter you could also more easily develop similar sites, thereby taking pressure from the hotspots.

Such “renovations” border on vandalism. That is why the Bagrati Cathedral is not in the UNESCO intangeable list anymore, because it’s basically a new building

It’s prohibitively expensive and the results never look good. There’s a reason medieval castle ruins are almost never restored – modern construction methods don’t produce anything that looks authentic and replicating the medieval construction methods is an insane amount of work.
