Atashgah of Tbilisi

The Atashgah is an ancient Zoroastrian fire temple located in Tbilisi. It is believed to date back to the Sasanian era and early Islamic eras. Travelers visit this site to see the remains of the fire altar and explore one of the northernmost examples of Zoroastrian architecture in the world.

Getting There

The temple is located in the historic district of the city. From the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk through the old town streets. The journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on your starting point and mode of transport.

Duration of Visit

Because the site is relatively small and consists primarily of ruins and an open-air area, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the grounds.

When to Visit

The site is outdoors, so visiting during the spring or autumn avoids the peak summer heat and winter chill. Morning visits are generally quieter. It does not typically experience the same level of crowding as the main cathedral or fortress.

Nearby Attractions

The temple is situated in a dense area of religious heritage. You can combine your visit with several nearby churches within walking distance:

  • Holy Mother of God Church of Bethlehem (0.1km)
  • Church of Saint George (0.1km)
  • Saint Gevorg of Mughni Church (0.2km)
  • Norashen Holy Mother of God Armenian Church (0.3km)
