About this tour
This session covers Batumi Piazza, a square built in a mix of Venetian and Georgian style rather than an old one restored. You see the mosaic tiling and stained glass under its arcades, then the bell tower at its centre. It is a close look at a landmark many visitors walk through without knowing how recent it is.
We move slowly under the arcades so the tiling reads clearly, then step into the open square for the tower. I explain what is original in style but new in construction, and questions work well throughout.
It suits anyone who enjoys architecture and pattern, and it pairs well with a boulevard walk earlier the same day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

The camera moves under the Piazza's arcades, and I point out the mosaic tiling and stained glass that mix Venetian and Georgian styles.

We reach the square's bell tower, and I explain how the whole complex was built new in the 2000s in an older style.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Khinkali and Boulevard district, worth a slower look.
