| Metekhi is a historic district of Tbilisi, Georgia, located on the elevated cliff that overlooks the Mtkvari river. According to traditional accounts, King Vakhtang I Gorgasal erected here a church and a fort which served also as a kingââ¬â¢s residence; hence comes the name Metekhi which dates back to the 12th century and literally means ââ¬Åthe area around the palaceââ¬Â. |
