  • The key seems to be the Botanical gardens and Pushkinsk Ulitsa (now Aleksander Pushkin St.) Once you have those lined up, the Kremlin looks obvious; on the modern map, from the embankment along Baratashvili, Pushkin and Shava Dadiani to the escarpment of the botanical gardens.

    You can see the wall on this 1800 map (items 50,51,52 etc.)

    But by 1850 there is already substantial suburban development, and on the left bank too

  • Tblisi's a lot older than that

    I call it that too, but apparently it's Tbilisi now. I wonder when that change happened, my Russian lessons were in the 1980s. It was Tpilisi until 1936, and Tiflis to foreigners.
