Atashgah of Tbilisi

The Atashgah stands as a brick structure protected by a curved perspex roof, located 100 meters east of the Holy Mother Church of Bethlehem.

The Atashgah was constructed during the Sasanian Empire between 224-651 AD when Georgia formed part of the extensive Persian territory.

This religious building transformed from a Zoroastrian fire temple to a church and later served as a mosque, reflecting the changing religious influences in Tbilisi.

Visitors can find the temple on the slopes northeast of the Mother Georgia statue, where preservation work continues through international restoration projects.

The structure holds the distinction of being the northernmost Zoroastrian fire temple worldwide and maintains its position as one of Tbilisi's earliest religious buildings.
