Very nice Soviet monument that is integral part of the landscape of Tbilisi. You can see it from several angles while walking around town. At first it was an allegorical wooden statue, that was later covered with aluminum to better resist the elemts. In one hand she holds a plate with grapes to welcome friends, in the other a sword to defend the city from unwelcome guests.

""Elguja Amashukeli, the author of the sculpture, called the statue the "capital," but people call it the "Mother of Kartli." The figure embodies the Georgian national history, culture and the rich spiritual heritage of the Kartveli. The sword in his right hand is not raised belligerently, but also not peacefully lowered, held in a ready position. A cup of wine for friends is ready, but not extended. "You can't see a face face to face. Big things are seen from a distance." Literally, the figure looks great from a distance, much more attractive than from a close distance. But the panoramic views from its foot are perhaps the best in the city. You can also ride a short zipline here.

The Mother of Georgia (Mother Kartli) has been towering on the Sololak ridge since the 50s, which can be reached by cable car and offers a magnificent panorama of the city. The Mother of Georgia is visible from many points in Tbilisi, illuminated very beautifully at night. The 20-meter-high statue symbolizes the Georgian national character: a female figure holds a cup of wine in her left hand to greet those who came as a friend, and in her right hand a sword for those who came as an enemy. There have been several reconstructions since the construction, but it has always attracted the attention of tourists.
