Zugdidi is a city in western Georgia, the centre of Samegrelo, near the Enguri river and the boundary with Abkhazia. It was the main residence of the Dadiani princes of Mingrelia, whose palace complex is now a museum holding family treasures and relics of Napoleon acquired through Princess Salomé Dadiani's marriage to Achille Murat.
