We will also take the cable car up to the defensive fortress of Narikala, which locals call the heart and soul of Tbilisi. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but there is evidence that it already existed in the IV century, which means that it was built even before the city itself was formed. For all the time of its existence, no one managed to take the fortress by storm.
