Old Tbilisi is an administrative district in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. Although the term "Old Tbilisi" has long been used to denote a historical part of the city, it was only in 2007 that it became a distinct administrative entity to incorporate several historical neighborhoods formerly included in the districts of Mtatsminda-Krtsanisi, Isani-Samgori, and Didube-Chughureti.

 

Old Tbilisi is principally centered on what is commonly referred to as the Tbilisi Historic District, which, due to its significant architectural and urban value, as well as the threat to its survival, was previously listed on the World Monuments Watch.

 

In 2010, government of Tbilisi started a program initiated by Mayer of Tbilisi Mr. Gigi Ugulava , the idea was to renew old and damaged houses and cobbled streets, so to make Old Tbilisi more attractive for tourists and visitors.
