Are the underlined parts correct? I wrote additional sentences to explain what I mean.
Context: the sentences were written by me. I am sharing my opinion about unusual places.

I think the capital of Georgia is an unusual place. In some parts it is medieval and in other parts it is modern. It has good architecture/ there is good architecture. There is beautiful nature and beautiful landscapes. The nature is beautiful there.

I wouldn't use "in" in sentence two.
Some parts are medieval and some are modern.
It has good architecture/ there is good architecture.
1. Come up with something better than "good". It doesn't collocate well with "architecture".
2. I would start the sentence with "The architecture is ...".
There is beautiful nature and beautiful landscapes.
1. Don't start with "There is".
2. Avoid the repetition of "beautiful".
The nature is beautiful there.
See my last comment.

Sorry, do you mean "The nature is beautiful there" is correct?
Instead of "good" I would say "The architecture is impressive." I hope it works.

No, it's not. In general, "nature" is used as an uncountable noun. Have another go (don't just remove the article!)

That's much better.

I don't think "It has beautiful nature" and "It has beautiful landscapes" work," do they?
 
The latter is OK.
It is interesting that you don't use "nature" the way it is used in other languages at least in two that I can speak. For example, "I like to be in nature" or "We stopped to take pictures of nature", or "I like the nature of Iceland" are not idiomatic in English, are they?
 
The latter is OK.
Or "There are beautiful landscapes." Right? Or "There is beautiful scenery." I don't think the latter works. I just noticed it is better not to start some sentences with "there."
 
Both work.
 
"I like to be in nature" or "We stopped to take pictures of nature", or "I like the nature of Iceland" are not idiomatic in English, are they?
They are not.
