Batumi Colonnades: Greek-Style Gateway to the Boulevard since 1934
The entrance to Batumi Boulevard is decorated with a beautiful colonnade. This distinctive Greek-style gate has already become a hallmark of the capital of Adjara and a true landmark of Georgia.
The idea belongs to Batumi physician D. Mchedlidze. In 1932, he saw a similar colonnade in the city of Sorrento while traveling to Italy for a medical conference. Upon returning home, the doctor approached city authorities with a proposal to decorate the Batumi embankment with columns. The project was designed by architect B. Kirakosyan.

The majestic columns appeared in 1934, adorning the entrance to the sea. Much has changed since then: the coastline has receded, the boulevard has been reconstructed and extended. But the Colonnade remains, delighting residents and visitors alike. Similar columns later decorated the entrance to 6 May Park. Photographs of the Batumi Colonnade appear in guidebooks, on postcards, magnets, and other souvenirs, as one of Georgia's most beautiful places.
The boulevard is very popular among residents and visitors alike. People here relax, stroll, play sports, admire the picturesque vegetation, and enjoy the stunning views of the sea and mountains. And what sunsets!
If you're considering what to see in Georgia, the capital of Adjara and its attractions should definitely be on your itinerary.

Aber es geht nicht nur um die Schönheit dieser Kolonnade; es gibt etwas Beruhigendes in der Luft, wenn man dort steht, wie ein stilles Versprechen, dass jeder Besuch einzigartig sein wird. Und jetzt frage ich mich: Ist es besser, die Kolonnaden am Morgen oder am Abend zu besuchen, um die besten Fotos zu machen?
صحيح أن تصميم الكولوناد رائع، لكن أكثر ما يلهمني هو الشعور بالمكان، كيف يعكس التاريخ ويجمع بين الأجيال. 💖 هل جربت تصوير سيلفي هناك؟ الصورة تكون أجمل بمليون مرة بفضل الخلفية الكلاسيكية والجو العام.
عندي تساؤل، هل هناك أفضل وقت لزيارة باتومي كولوناد للحصول على أفضل الصور؟ 📸
