თავისუფლების მოედანი
The city’s central transport hub, with a tall golden statue of St. George slaying the dragon on a column at its heart. It links the Old Town with Rustaveli Avenue.
Freedom Square is the central reference point of Tbilisi. During the Soviet period it was called Lenin Square. In 2006 a column about 35 meters tall was erected, topped with a gilded statue of St. George slaying the dragon. Around the square are 19th-century buildings, including City Hall and the National Bank. Heading down the slope to the southeast brings you into the Old Town, while to the northwest lies Rustaveli Avenue. Leselidze Street on the south side leads to Sioni Cathedral. It is a short walk from Liberty Square metro station, and is a common starting point for walking tours of the city.
