Freedom Square, square in Tbilisi, Georgia

Freedom Square is a public square in central Tbilisi, at the eastern end of Rustaveli Avenue. In its centre stands the Liberty Monument, a tall column with a golden statue of St George slaying the dragon, unveiled in 2006 and created by Zurab Tsereteli. Six streets branch off the square, and the Tbilisi City Assembly building faces it.

The square grew outside Tbilisi's walls, where firewood carts were sold before 1801. It was officially named Paskevich-Erivansky Square in 1828, became Freedom Square in 1918, Beria Square in 1938, Lenin Square in 1953, and regained its current name in 1990 on Zviad Gamsakhurdia's initiative.

The square bears the Georgian name Tavisuplebis Moedani, meaning Freedom Square. The monuments and statues tell of Georgia's struggle for independence, especially the statue of Saint George slaying a dragon, a symbol deeply rooted in Georgian identity and pride.

The square is accessible day and night with easy flat pathways for walking around. Multiple cafes and restaurants surround the area where you can sit and watch the activity, with shopping centers and museums located nearby for additional exploring.

The Liberty Monument was unveiled on 23 November 2006, replacing the large Lenin statue that had stood there since 1956 and was torn down in August 1991. Sculptor Zurab Tsereteli's golden Saint George slaying the dragon now marks the spot where the Soviet monument once stood.
