Alphabetic Tower

The Alphabetic Tower (Georgian: ანბანის კოშკი, romanized: anbanis k'oshk'i) is a 130-meter-high structure in Batumi, Georgia. The tower symbolizes the uniqueness of the Georgian alphabet and people. The structure combines the design of DNA, in its familiar double helix pattern. Two helix bands rise

up the tower holding 33 letters of the Georgian alphabet, each 4 meters tall and made of aluminium. In the middle of the building is an exposed elevator shaft leading to the very top of the building, in the crown of the structure, where a colossal silver ball is located.
