As the 19th c. was fading away Europe witnessed rising of a new and very popular style of Art Nouveau referred to as Modernist style in Georgia. The new trend started to gain popularity in Georgia right from its appearance and many buildings that have now been recognized as certain landmarks in our city were built following its artistic features. Modernistic forms in Tbilisi acquired an original shape and character and are now part of world heritage. The modernistic buildings presented throughout this route have largely contributed to the unique character of Tbilisi as a European city. One of the most outstanding art-nouveau buildings in Tbilisi is located on 3, Leonidze Street. Architect of this building is M.Ojanhajanov. This building was built in 1910 and is used as National Bank of Georgia. The building has two floors, is white and has huge windows. When I saw it for the first time I was thrilled, because of its grandeur, and its huge art nouveau styled windows. But unfortunately not many Georgians know about this amazing building in their hometown Tbilisi.
