Mamadaviti Pantheon
Mamadaviti or Mtatsminda Pantheon is a necropolis of Georgian Writers and Public Figures. Situated in the middle level of Holy Mountain Mtatsminda, it is nested in the volcanic rocks. Pantheon overlooks the city Tbilisi.
The Pantheon was established in the yard of St. David’s Church Mamadaviti. This is a place where the monk David – the holy father - settled in 6th c. Necropolis developed in 19th-20th cc - famous artists, writers, heroes, scholars are buried.
The Russian writer Alexander Griboyedov and his wife Princes Nino Chavchavadze (the daughter of prominent Georgian poet Alexander Chavchavadze) were the first people to be buried there. The opening of the pantheon was related to the celebration of a century of Griboyedov’s death in 1929.
