  1. Almost no palace made it to this day sadly due to many different reasons. Most famous palace is Geguti that was used by Queen Tamar near Kutaisi.

  2. You do know that Tbilisi and whole of Georgia was ransacked, Pillaged and destroyed thousand times over after King Tamar ye?

  3. Agha Mohammad Khan obliterated all civilian structures in 1795, when he sacked Tbilisi and set everything on fire

    No, we never had anything like that, Georgian were kiving very “primitve” most of the times. But bare in mind, most of the beautiful palaces and castles you see in Europe were rebuilt in the late 1800s early 1900s with a lot of fantasy and creative additions. Germans call this era “Burgenromantik”.

  5. It may be not exactly what you’re looking for, but:

    1. There’s Tbilisi History Museum in the city center, which exhibits a handful of scaled models of old Tbilisi’s buildings:

    Definitely worth a visit.

    2. I can see there’s Georgia in Miniatures Park near Shekvetili, that sports many 3D models of the finest Georgian buildings, cf.

    Hope that helps.

    Near the residence of patriarch of Georgia there is a small building that used to be the king’s bathhouse. Later, it was used as a coin mint place (zarapkhana). https://maps.app.goo.gl/7DK6jaqKYuMFHcJV8

    The residence of patriarch itself stands on the ruins on the old royal palace that was destroyed as others mentioned in 1795. The garden in front of it is a former royal garden as well.
