National Palace of Youth and Children

The National Palace of Children and Youth, also known as the Pioneer Palace or the Vice-regal Palace, is located in a historic building on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, Georgia. This building has a rich history, dating back to the annexation of Georgia by the Russian Empire in 1801. Initially, a structure was built here for the Imperial High Commissioner Pavel Tsitsianov, who was of Georgian origin. In the mid-19th century, the building was rebuilt and expanded several times to meet the needs of the viceroys, including the emperor's son. Today, the National Palace is an important cultural center that hosts various events for children and youth.
