Batumi (Georgian: ბათუმი [bɑtʰumi]) is the second-largest city of Georgia, located on the coast of the Black Sea in the country's southwest. Situated in a subtropical zone near the foot of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, Batumi is a popular tourist destination known for its varying weather–it is a bustling seaside resort during warm seasons, but it can get entirely covered in snow during winter. Much of Batumi's economy revolves around tourism and gambling, but the city is also an important sea port and includes industries like shipbuilding, food processing and light manufacturing. Since 2010, Batumi has been transformed by the construction of modern high-rise buildings, as well as the restoration of classical 19th-century edifices lining its historic Old Town.

There are very nice buildings here, and you will see all the details of Georgian architecture. You can also see astronomical tower here as well. If you have time, examine the buildings one by one from outside.

Astronomical clock equipped with special mechanisms is located on a building of unique architecture. Besides ordinary time, the clock gives the chance to find out some astronomical information, in particular: relative positions of the sun, moon, zodiacal constellations, and sometimes major planets. At the same time it indicates the meridian, horizon, time of sunrise and sunset.

The statue of Neptune was put up in front of Batumi Drama Theater in 2010. The monument consists of 5 fragments. In the center there is located the statue of Neptune on a pedestal. The statue is surrounded by a fountain representing 4 figures of mermaids. The original of the statue is on a central square in Bologna. In 2011, the Neptune Statue was gold-plated.
Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Since 2010 Batumi, as well has a fountain of Neptune following the example of cities like Florence, Rome, Madrid and less exotic places like Poznan. Perhaps surprisingly Batumi has chosen a copy of the one in Bologna. A nude Neptune sculpted in 1567 by a famous Flemish artist named Jean de Boulogne also known as Giambologna who spent most of his life working for the wealthy Medici family. It is a fantastic piece of art in mannerist style, but very much influenced by Michelangelo's effort to revitalize the examples of classical antiquity. The original in Bologna is a bronze and desperately in need of a make-over. The Batumi Neptune is gold-plated since 2011, perhaps not the best material for a sculpture of this kind. However, the features of Neptune, god of fresh water and the sea are not jeopardized. Water is spraying from the breasts of four mermaids and from the mouths of fish held by putti. A great sight.
