Parliament
The high-arched Georgian Parliament was constructed as the Soviet government building between 1938 and 1953 and finished off by German POWs. Momentous events in Georgia's recent history have taken place here: the Soviet massacre of 20 Georgian hunger strikers on 9 April 1989; Georgia's independence declaration on 9 April 1991; on 6 January 1992 President Gamsakhurdia fled the building after being besieged in it for two weeks; and the Rose Revolution on 22 November 2003.
A small monument in front of the Parliament commemorates the dead of 1989.
