Chronicle of georgia
Chronicle of Georgia was created by Zurab Tsereteli, a famous Georgian sculptor, painter and architect. From a distance, its sheer size is often underestimated, yet as you climb the stairs, 16 massive pillars towering over 30 meters in height begin to unfold before your eyes. Depicted on the bronze pillars of Chronicle of Georgia are historical and religious events and scenes from Georgian literary works. Significant events in the life of Jesus Christ, including Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, the Resurrection, Transfiguration, Pentecost and Annunciation of Mary are depicted on the lower portions of the columns. In contrast, the upper sections portray kings, queens, Georgian heroes and illustrations of the earliest known Georgian work of hagiography, The Martyrdom of the Holy Queen Shushanik (476–483) by Iakob Tsurtaveli.
