Gunib Square, Tiflis

Ghunib Square (ღუნიბის მოედანი) was a square in Old Tbilisi on the site where the Georgian Parliament building now stands on Rustaveli Avenue. The square was named to commemorate the capture of Shamil's fortress - Gunib, in Dagestan by the Russian army on March 25, 1859. In connection with the construction of the Alexander Nevsky Military Temple in 1897, the square was renamed the Temple Square ("Soborn"), but it virtually ceased to exist.
