Chronicle of Georgia

The Chronicle of Georgia consists of gigantic pillars standing imposingly at the top of a long series of steep steps. The top parts are decorated with scenes of the history of Georgia, mainly with the kings and queens who reigned over the country. The lowers parts portray the life of Jesus. The monument was created by Zurab Tsereteli, a Georgian sculptor. The construction started in 1985 but it’s still partially incomplete. This monument is impressive, not only because of its sheer size and the surrounding views but also because of the intricate scenes carved into the huge pillars. (Tbilisi, Georgia)
