The exterior of the building is plastered and painted in white. The facades are separated by rectangular windows, which are surrounded by profiled trims and crowned with flat "pediments". Rectangular windows on longitudinal facades are replaced by circular ones, above which are depicted the lying crescents. The east entrance is the most richly decorated. It is flanked by pilasters supported by a tall, helmet-shaped arch. A round window is cut in the arch tympanum. The windows on the facades are arranged in two tiers, although the interior space is united. The wooden gable roof relies on four free-standing round pillars. At the top of the middle section there is erected a dome with wooden poles. The ceiling, dome and railings of the cathedra are decorated with colorful decorative paintings.

The Port of Batumi is a significant seaport located in the city of Batumi, Georgia, on the southeast coast of the Black Sea. It is the largest container, ferry, and general cargo seaport in Georgia, with a total capacity of 18 million tons per year and 5 terminals, including an oil terminal, dry cargo terminal, container terminal, railway-ferry crossing, and passenger terminal. The port has a long history dating back to the Roman Empire and is known for its geostrategic and natural advantages, such as its natural deep-water location, which allows large tonnage vessels to enter without crossing a canal and paying canal fees. The port provides a wide range of high-quality services, including cargo transshipment, warehousing, storage, and ship maintenance. It is also used as a major transit port for oil refining in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The port plays a crucial role in the Eurasian and international trade network. [see the hidden B/W version]
