Kutaisi, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, graces the western region of Imereti, Georgia. This historical gem, situated on the banks of the Rioni River, boasts a rich heritage. With origins dating back to the 6th-5th centuries BC, Kutaisi served as the capital of Colchis, Kingdom of Abkhazia, Kingdom of Georgia, and Kingdom of Imereti throughout its history. A significant period saw it as the capital of the United Kingdom of Georgia from 1008 to 1122, and later the capital of the Imeretian Kingdom from the 15th to the 19th century. Kutaisi was not without its challenges, enduring brief Ottoman rule in the 16th century. In the 18th century, it appealed to Russia for assistance in regaining independence from the Ottomans, and in 1770, Russian forces aided in reclaiming the city. As a thriving industrial centre, Kutaisi witnessed a major blood libel trial in 1879 that garnered national attention. Independence in 1991 was followed by economic hardship, prompting many residents to seek opportunities abroad. In 2012, the city became the parliamentary capital, as part of Georgia's efforts to decentralize power. The Bagrati Cathedral, Gelati Monastery, Motsameta Monastery, and other cultural treasures grace Kutaisi's landscape. Its rich history and vibrant present make it a city worth exploring.
