History
editThe toponym "Sololaki" first appeared in the 19th century. The earlier name of this place was "Avanaantkhevi". It was the site of gardens belonging to Georgian dignitaries. The development of Sololaki intensified in the first half of the 19th century. In 1847–1851, one section of the Sololaki gorge (roughly corresponding to the current Leonidze Street and the area of Freedom Square) was built.[2]
