Everything about Rustaveli Avenue totally explained

Rustaveli Avenue - (formerly known as Golovin Street) is an avenue in central Tbilisi named after the medieval Georgian poet, Shota Rustaveli. The Avenue starts at Freedom Square and extends for about 1.5km in length, before it turns into an extension of Kostavas Kucha (Kostava Street). Rustaveli is often considered as the main thoroughfare of Tbilisi due to a large number of governmental, public, cultural, and business buildings that are located along or near the Avenue. The Parliament of Georgia, Kashveti Church, The National Museum of Georgia, Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre, Rustaveli State Academic Theater, and the Georgian Academy of Sciences, among others, are all located on Rustaveli. The thoroughfare is served by the Tbilisi Metro and buses.
   In 1989, tens of thousands of Georgians gathered before the House of Government on Rustaveli Avenue. A crackdown by the Soviet military killed many protesters in the April 9 tragedy.
   In 2007, the avenue was site of anti-government protests.
