Colonnades

Colonnades represent one of the visit cards of Batumi. The idea belongs to a doctor from Batumi – Ivane Mchedlidze. He brought the project from the city of Sorrento while being on a business trip in   Italy. The project was accomplished under the supervision of Bogdan Kirakosyan, an architect from Batumi. The colonnades played the role of a gate to the beach. At that time the beach was considerably closer. Later the shore retreated and the sea became more distant from the colonnades. Similar colonnades beautify the central entrance to the 6 May Park in Batumi.
