Wedding Palace

Wedding Palace, Ceremonial building in Tbilisi, Georgia

The Wedding Palace is a Soviet-era Modernist building in Tbilisi made up of two spiral-shaped wings joined together around a central fountain. Each wing has its own entrance and separate gathering spaces, giving the whole structure a double symmetry that is visible from the outside.

The building was completed in 1984, designed by architect Viktor Dzhordbenadze. His design brought together expressionist forms from the 1920s and elements drawn from medieval Georgian church architecture.

The building's name shifted with its use: opened as the Wedding Palace, it was renamed "Arcadia" by Badri Patarkatsishvili after he bought it in 2002. He was buried in the palace garden after his death in 2008, and a monument to him was placed there in 2018. The grounds are private and the building is closed.

The building stands at Bochorma Street 21 and is closed, on private grounds, so visits are limited to what can be seen from outside. The sources disagree on the completion date, 1984 or 1985, and on later use: one reports a lease to a private events company in 2013, the other states the site remains privately owned and shut.

Badri Patarkatsishvili, who bought the building in 2002 and renamed it Arcadia, was buried in its garden after his death in 2008; a monument to him was installed there in 2018. The architects' design is often compared to the modernist churches of Le Corbusier and Niemeyer.
