Batumi Synagogue

Batumi Synagogue is located on Vaja-Pshavela Street in Batumi, Adjara, Georgia. The building, constructed in 1904 by architect Simon Volkovitch, externally resembles Amsterdam and The Hague synagogues. After being returned to the Jewish community in 1992, it was used for sports clubs for a long time. Construction began with permission from Emperor Nikolay II after local Jews' petition. The synagogue was closed by Soviet authorities in the 1930s.
