Tbilisi City Hall will restrict traffic on the Metekhi Bridge from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on November 13 in connection with the event commemorating the 100,000 Martyrs.

Traffic will be banned on both sides at Europe Square in the direction of Vakhtang Gorgasali Square and Metekhi Bridge.

Vehicles will be allowed to move from Kote Abkhazi Street toward Freedom Square.

Routes of the municipal transport will also temporarily change.

The Hundred Thousand Martyrs are saints of the Georgian Orthodox Church who were put to death, according to a 14th-century anonymous Georgian source ‘Chronicle of a Hundred Years,’ for not renouncing Christianity.

Their deaths came at the order of the Khwarezmid Sultan Jalal ad-Din upon his capture of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi in 1226. The Georgian Church commemorates the martyrs on 13 November.
