Narikala Fortress, one of the oldest and most striking landmarks in Tbilisi, dates back to the 4th century, originally built by the Persians as a defensive stronghold. Perched on a hill, the fortress was later expanded by Arabs and Mongols, and has withstood the test of time. Walking through the ancient ruins, you can sense the centuries of history and the stories embedded in its stones. The view from the top of Narikala is breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista over Tbilisi. From this vantage point, you can see the winding Kura River, the iconic Metekhi Church perched on a cliff, and the towering Sameba Cathedral, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The old city below, with its charming wooden balconies and narrow streets, adds to the beauty of this historic cityscape.
At the base of the fortress lies the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, a peaceful green oasis where visitors can unwind amidst exotic plant species, serene pathways, and flowing streams. With its waterfalls and lush vegetation, the botanical garden offers a beautiful contrast to the ancient fortress above, providing a tranquil retreat that harmoniously blends nature with the city’s historical landscape.

The National Botanical Garden of Georgia, located in Tbilisi, is a beautiful oasis covering 161 hectares at the base of the Narikala Fortress. Once serving as the royal garden for Georgian kings, it now hosts an impressive collection of over 4,500 plant species from around the world. The garden offers scenic walking paths, tranquil streams, and a striking waterfall that enhances its serene atmosphere. Established in the 19th century, the garden provides visitors with a peaceful escape from the bustling city and is a popular spot for nature lovers and hikers. In addition to its rich flora, the garden regularly hosts educational and scientific events, making it a hub for biodiversity and conservation. Its location at the edge of the old town not only offers a retreat for relaxation but also stunning views of Tbilisi and the surrounding landscape.

Narikala-fort, een van de oudste en meest indrukwekkende monumenten van Tbilisi, heeft een rijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 4e eeuw, toen het door de Perzen werd opgericht als verdedigingsbolwerk. Het fort, strategisch gelegen op een heuvel, werd later versterkt door de Arabieren en Mongolen en heeft sindsdien de tand des tijds doorstaan. Terwijl je door de ruïnes wandelt, voel je de eeuwenoude geschiedenis en de verhalen die in de stenen verborgen liggen. Het uitzicht vanaf de top van Narikala is adembenemend en biedt een schilderachtig panorama over Tbilisi. Van hieruit zie je de kronkelende Kura-rivier, het iconische Metekhi-kerkje op een klif, en de grote Sameba-kathedraal, een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld, die het stadsbeeld domineert. Je kunt ook de oude stad bewonderen met haar karakteristieke huizen met houten balkons en smalle straatjes vol geschiedenis. Aan de voet van Narikala ligt de Nationale Botanische Tuin van Georgië, een serene, groene oase waar bezoekers kunnen ontspannen te midden van exotische plantensoorten, rustige paden, en stromende beekjes. De botanische tuin, met zijn watervallen en dichte vegetatie, biedt een prachtig contrast met het historische fort dat erboven uitrijst. Het is de perfecte plek voor een rustige wandeling, waarbij de natuur zich harmonieus vermengt met het historische landschap van de stad.

Horizons Urbains : Christ et Favelas (2024)

Horizons Urbains : Christ et Favelas" capture la tension dramatique de Rio de Janeiro, où les favelas s'étendent à perte de vue sur les collines, sous la protection imposante du Christ Rédempteur. Les couleurs vibrantes et les touches expressives de cette œuvre accentuent le contraste saisissant entre l'urbanisation dense et la majesté du célèbre monument. Le ciel tourmenté, baigné dans la lumière du crépuscule, ajoute une dimension surréaliste à cette scène, évoquant à la fois la complexité et la beauté brute de la ville. Un hommage visuel à une métropole où chaque coin de rue raconte une histoire de résilience et d'espoir.
