History of Bare

Bare Unique historical significance


biograpi gives life to new stories that live on in our memories. 

Avlabari is one of the oldest districts of Tbilisi, located between Rike, Chughureti, Elia, and Navtlughi. The name "Avlabari" became established in the 14th century. The main parts of Avlabari were Sogdebili and Metekhi. In the 18th century, Avlabari was surrounded by two defensive walls. Since ancient times, the Metekhi (also known as the Avlabari) Bridge has connected Kala-Tbilisi and Avlabari across the Mtkvari River. Niko Lomouri Street has existed in Tbilisi since the 19th century, stretching from Kedi Turn to Konstantine Tsutskiridze Street. It was named after Niko Lomouri in 1923.
 


The word "Bare" means trench, barrier, or fortification. Accordingly, the name "Avlabari" refers to the area beyond the wall — a suburb or outlying district. In 1828, Avlabari Square was referred to as Kakheti Square, as it was the route through which wine was brought from Kakheti to Tbilisi. Among the monuments of material culture preserved in Avlabari is the Sachino Palace, built in the 1770s by Queen Darejan near one of the towers of the Avlabari fortification wall. Also still standing is the Forakishvili Hall, a traditional residential building characteristic of old Tbilisi. 

Bare is a project born from the necessity of progress and the idea of new life.
