History

The monument was erected on Sololaki Hill in 1958, on the 1500th anniversary of Tbilisi. The monument was designed by the Georgian sculptor Elgudzha Amashukeli. The height of the monument was 20 meters. It was made of wood.

In 1963, the monument was covered with aluminum. It remained in this form until the 1990s when some of the sheets were lost.

In the 1990s, the monument was redesigned - the facial features, headgear, and long sleeves of the dress were changed. The monument itself was made of concrete panels painted in silver.
