The story of the Bridge of Peace

The Bridge of Peace opened in 2010. Designed by Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, it is a 150-metre curved pedestrian bridge with a wave-shaped glass roof over the Mtkvari River.

At night thousands of LEDs light up its canopy in patterns. On the far bank, Rike Park has lawns, fountains, a giant chess board and the lower station of the cable car to Narikala.
