დარეჯანის სასახლე - საჩინო / „Sachino“ (Queen Darejan Palace) - Old Tbilisi

Sachino (Georgian: საჩინო) - The palace complex is built in the form of a castle to protect its inhabitants from continual invasions of foreign occupiers. Two churches in honour of the saints Erekle and Daria have been built in the territory of the palace. ... Having lived for some more time in her palace the queen Darejan was deported to Russia on a charge of a plot against the future head of the state appointed by the Russian Emperor. In the following years the palace has been used as a fratry, museum and even a one-man theatre.
