N33, Vazha-Pshavela str., Batumi
Batumi Ashkenazy synagogue was built in 1904 according to the design of Architect S. Volkovich. The double-storey stone building, plastered and painted with white paint, is situated a bit apart from the street. The Mauritian-style main façade has stretched out avant-corps at the edges, in front of which the small-sized verandas are enclosed with fences. There is a door with two semi-columns and an arch in the centre of the main façade. The wide glamorous stairs lead to the entrance door. The apertures on the second floor have a U-shape. The building has castellated eaves. The synagogue is certainly one of the prominent buildings of this period. It is a good example of the eclectic architecture created by using Islamic elements.
