Sololaki
Sololaki is considered the architectural soul of Old Tbilisi. Most of the buildings were constructed in the mid-19th century by members of the bourgeois class.
In Sololaki, you will find traditional wooden houses with balconies (e.g., 8 and 23 Amagleba Street), as well as eclectic-style buildings and splendid examples of Art Nouveau architecture. Must-see landmarks include the Milov House (11 Kikodze Street), built in 1914 by architect Gabriel Ter-Mikelov, and the David Sarajishvili House (13 Machabeli Street), constructed in 1905 by architect Karl Zaar.
A particularly notable feature of the historic houses in the district is the painted staircases, adorned with Italian and local marble, metal details, and carved decorative elements.
