History and story
Completed in 2010, the approximately 5,700 m² ensemble was designed by architect Vazha Orbeladze. Its architecture evokes Italy; it should not be described as an exact copy of a square in Venice.
What to see
The central 106 m² figurative marble mosaic was designed by Natali de Pita-Amirejibi, using marble from 15 countries. The official Georgian tourism description says the musical clock plays the Georgian anthem or a melody dedicated to Batumi every three hours, with figures in traditional dress. This does not guarantee a performance at a particular visit time.
Visiting information
The operator lists La Brioche, Mimino, The Quiet Woman, Bocconcino and Bellamia. Check directly for menus, tables and music schedules. No reliable source was established for a special meaning of a particular bell count or a “love fountain” ritual.
Location and access
25 Parnavaz Mepe Street, Old Batumi. Combine with Europe Square on a city-centre walk.
