Beautiful mansion and a focal point of Georgian literature. The house was built by David Sarajishvili, an entrepreneur, between 1903-1905, by a German architect, Karl Zaar, and combines art nouveau with neobaroque style elements. The terrace mosaic is made from tiles by Villeroy and Boch. The Writer's House was a location in which major figures of Georgian literature, such as the Blue Horns group, met in the early 1920s. Paolo Iashvili committed suicide at the Writer's House on July 22, 1937. The Writer's House of Georgia has a museum dedicated to Sarajishvili and a Museum of Repressed Writers exhibit featuring the story of how writers were persecuted. In the summer months, a cafe/restaurant operates in the garden.
