Shota Rustaveli academic drama theatre was constructed in 1898-1901 by the architects Corneli Tatishev and Alexander Mishkevich at first it was for the  artists ’ society that functioned  that time  in Georgia. Its façade is richly decorated  with various architectural elements. Wide glass cases and  pilasters of Corinthian orders organically merge with each other. The exterior is enriched with sculptured wreathes in rococo style together with shells and entablatures made of shell style friezes. This building is distinguished with the style synthesis. Each ornament naturally mixed with each other and defines the image of the building granting the individualism to it at the same time.
