Europe Square
ევროპის მოედანი
A European-style square in the center of the old town, surrounded by ornate buildings and watched over by a statue of Medea holding the Golden Fleece, with an astronomical clock.
Europe Square is the heart of Batumi's old town. At the top of a central column stands a bronze statue of Medea, unveiled in 2007, holding the Golden Fleece from Greek myth, a reference to the legend of the Argonauts sailing to Colchis. Surrounding the square are neoclassical and Art Nouveau buildings. On the National Bank building along one side is an astronomical clock that shows the positions of the sun and moon. Concerts and festivals are often held here, and the fountain lights are beautiful at night. From here it is a short walk to Piazza Batumi and the seaside boulevard.
