Mtatsminda Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures is a Georgian cemetery, designed especially to honor the nation's most prominent writers, artists, scholars, and heroes. Although there are several interred years earlier, the cemetery was established officially in 1929. It is located at St David's Church on the slope of Mount Mtatsminda overlooking the capital city of Tbilisi. The first to be interred was Russian author Alexander Griboyedov. Prior to this location, prominent persons were buried in Didube Pantheon, but in 1934 an order was issued to relocate the prominent from Didbube Pantheon with most re-interred at to Mtatsminda. In 2009 it was announced that there were no more opened plots in Mtatsminda. The park-like grounds are well-manicure with wide sidewalks and most grave sites are marked with huge statues.
