Pantheon Mtatsminda

Mtatsminda Pantheon, Necropolis of Mtatsminda
Georgia, Tbilisi
Pantheon of writers and public figures of Georgia Mtatsminda is a necropolis in Tbilisi where many of the famous writers, artists, scientists and national heroes of Georgia are buried. It is located on the territory around the church of St. David "Mamadaviti" on the slope of Mount Mtatsminda and was officially opened in 1929. In addition, a number of pre-revolutionary burials are located in the church of St. David itself.

The first significant burial in this place was the burial of the famous Russian writer Alexander Griboedov (1795-1829) and his wife, Princess Nino Chavchavadze (1812-1857). The Pantheon was officially opened in 1929 on the 100th anniversary of the tragic death of Griboyedov in Iran. Since that time, many prominent Georgians have been buried or reburied here. The cemetery is managed by the Tbilisi municipality and is one of the most famous city sights.
