The Chronicle of Georgia (or History Memorial of Georgia) is a monument located near the Tbilisi sea. It was created by Zurab Tsereteli in 1985 but was never fully finished. The monument sits at the top of a large set of stairs. There are 16 pillars that are between 30–35 meters tall and the top half features kings, queens and heroes while the bottom part depict stories from the life of Christ. There is a grapevine cross of St. Nino and a chapel. The Chronicle of Georgia records the history of Georgia in detail.

There are large sets of steps on the way to the monument. Here people can overlook the whole of Tbilisi. It's a good choice for tourists to visit here, but few people come to visit the Chronicle of Georgia due to Tbilisi being a diverse city with a palette of attractions. Tbilisi sea is very close to the chronicle of Georgia. Although its name is “Tbilisi sea”, it is an artificial lake and was built in 1953. The length of Tbilisi is 8.75 km and the width is about 2.85 km, the deepest point is 45 m. The surface elevation is situated 650-800 meters above sea level.
