Chacha Tower (Georgian: ჭაჭის კოშკი) is a clock tower located in Batumi, Georgia. It was built in 2012 by the city council with a cost of one million Georgian laris.[1] The tower is 25 m (82 ft) high and has four fountains.[1] It is a replica of the Clock Tower in İzmir, Turkey.[2] Georgian chacha comes out of the fountains of the tower instead of water.[1][3] The tower hosts a tourism information center.[1]
As of 2015, the chacha fountain was reportedly nonfunctioning.[4]
