In Tbilisi courtyards you often meet typical Tbilisi staircases. But this courtyard is unique with its twisted staircases. The staircase is well known and much loved as a film ‘A first day and a last one’ was shot here. Bela Mirianashvili and Sergo Zakariadze used to go this staircase. Washing on a line is also a true element of Tbilisi, which makes the courtyards alive. It was said that Sergo Zakariadze lived in the courtyard.
You don’t have to walk much when you see a house reminding Gabashvili’s house built by Tatischev. This building is also such style with its two-tier balcony. Here is a round fountain, gate.On the wall you can see a year when this building was accomplished. It is called Shorenketsia, adorned clay.

Any chance of these beauty being restored?
Restoration works of other historical buildings have already started. We hope, it will be restored as there is no another analogue of such staircase in Tbilisi. As far as I know, city hall is not going to start works next year. 😦
