Blue Balcony, White Sheets, Sololaki, Tbilisi, Georgia
The architecture in Tbilisi is a mixture of local (Georgian), with strong influences of Byzantine, European/Russian (neo-classical), and Middle Eastern architectural styles. The oldest parts of town, including the Abanot-Ubani, Avlabari, and to a certain extent the Sololaki districts clearly have a traditional Georgian architectural look with Middle Eastern influences.
In recent years, however, redevelopment pressures have increasingly threatened and in some cases, caused the destruction of the neighborhood's irreplaceable architectural heritage.
