The website’s way of dealing with Georgian culture is very complete and provides us with a large insight into several different aspects of cultural life at the time. In addition to the images and maps, the numerous links between the pages make people want to discover more about the cities, since it enables the visitors to jump from one city to another.
I particularly like the links with literature and with well-known authors, because it establishes a link between the authors and the cultural background they lived in, which increases my desire to know more about life in the cities at their time.
Thank you for your comments on the hyperlink structure and on the cultural emphasis.
