Rustavi is the fourth largest city in Georgia, located in the Kvemo Kartli region in the southeast of the country, situated on both banks of the Kura River, about 25 kilometers from the capital city of Tbilisi. The city was founded in 1948 as a planned city built during the Soviet period to support the development of heavy industry, and was named after the medieval Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli. An important industrial center, Rustavi was once known for its steel and chemical industries, and in recent years has been gradually transforming into a diversified economy.
Rustavi is located in a semi-arid climate zone with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The city is divided into two parts, the Left Bank and the Right Bank, which are connected by a bridge, and has a population of about 125,000 people, who are predominantly ethnic Georgians with a multicultural background. It is geographically close to the border with Azerbaijan and is one of the transportation hubs connecting the Transcaucasus region.
Rustavi's economy is based on industry, with the largest steel mill in Georgia, as well as logistics, agro-processing and tourism. Culturally, the city retains remnants of Soviet-era architecture, such as the Rustavi Theater and Central Square, and regularly hosts traditional music festivals. Surrounding attractions include the David Gareja Grotto Monastery and Vashlovani National Park, which attracts outdoor enthusiasts.
Visitors can explore Rustavi's historic industrial landscape and natural beauty and experience the local wine culture. The city is modernizing its infrastructure and focusing on environmental protection and sustainability, making it a prime example of Georgia's industrial city transformation.
