Standing on the Alley of Heroes, the monument to Zhiuli Shartava is a tribute of respect and memory to the outstanding Georgian statesman who gave his life for the sake of his people in the struggle for the sovereignty and independence of Georgia. The sculptural image of Shartava symbolizes his unshakable will, courage and devotion to his homeland.
Zhiuli Shartava became known for his leadership during the difficult times of the Georgian-Abkhaz war, and his murder in 1993 became one of the most tragic pages in the history of Georgia. His posthumous awarding of the title of National Hero of Georgia underscores his outstanding role in the history of the country.
