The story of the Alphabet Tower

The Alphabet Tower was built in the early 2010s to celebrate the unique Georgian script, one of the world's few alphabets used by a single nation. Its 33 letters wind around the tower in a double helix, like DNA.

At the top is a viewing level with panoramic views over Batumi, the port and the Black Sea. At night the tower is illuminated in changing colours.
