Why

  1. The building has massive stained-glass windows and bright interiors.
  2. It was designed by the Batumi architects Gia Baghoshvili and Oleg Pataridze.
  3. It was consecrated by Giuseppe Pasotto, Apostolic Administrator of the Latin Catholic Church in the South Caucasus.

Details

The church is compared to Oscar Niemeyer's modernist churches in South America. It is worth stopping by for a few minutes while walking through the area. Batumi is religiously and ethnically diverse: a mosque, an Orthodox church, a synagogue and this Catholic church stand near one another. See what to see in Batumi and where Adjara is.
