Dadiani Palace was one of the first European-style palaces built in the historical territory of Odishi, today known as Zugdidi.

The structure was built in the 17th century, with a thorough restoration in the 1860s that was led by an English architect. Five thousand hand-made parts and more than fifty thousand Colchic ornaments were created just to make the balconies and roofs, which, to this day, continue to fascinate locals and tourists alike.

Ekaterine Dadiani, the last queen of Odishi and mistress of the palace, had exceptional taste, which can be found in every nook and cranny of the building.

By the way, don’t be surprised if you hear Napoleon’s name mentioned in connection with the Dadianis. The Megrelian family had blood ties with the Bonapartes: Salome Dadiani was married to Napoleon’s nephew Achille Murat.

Georgian Karachokhelis were ordinary workers and craftsmen in Tbilisi. They hated injustice and fought for weak, bullied, widowed, and orphan citizens of Tbilisi. They also had their own costume – a long, black Chokha, red silk shirt, and a silver belt. As a profession, they were part of Amkari (a professional organization of craftsmen).
Kintos were street merchants who would start their day by walking in the streets of Tbilisi with huge plates full of fruits and vegetables on top of their heads. They used to be second-hand sellers. They also had their own costume, like Karachogeli, but a bit different. They wore black wide pants, polka-dot shirts, a belt, and a red scarf tucked in the belt.
Without them, it’s impossible to imagine the 19th century Tbilisi’s social life.

Every evening, starting at 7 pm, 8-meter-high figures of a man and a woman on Batumi Boulevard start moving in circles. Every ten minutes they approach each other, merge, and separate, then again they approach, merge, and separate
This circular motion expresses eternal love and people come to Batumi from all over to see it. At least, that was the intention of the sculpture’s creator, the Georgian artist, and sculptor, Tamar Kvesitadze. Her inspiration for the creation of the sculpture was the story by Kurban Said, author of the worldwide best-seller, Ali and Nino, published in 1937. In the story, Ali Shirvanshir is an Azerbaijani aristocrat and Nino Kipiani is the daughter of a Georgian prince. Some say that the story is true, but the majority believe that the story of Ali and Nino is a legend, the fruit of Kurban Said’s imagination.
