Message from Maria Smolenskaya

The Ateshgah of Tbilisi (Georgian: ათეშგა, from Persian: آتشگاه “fire temple”) is an awe-inspiring building from the 5th Century situated in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi. This religious structure was built when Georgia was a part of Persian Empire in the Sasanian era and, due to its intriguing history, has been quietly passed down through the centuries. There is a calming presence in this temple and i loved it. The entrance is not that easy to find. You need to go up the stairs to the large brown door and knock for them to let you in.
