A memorial plaque at 13 Demetre Tavdadebuli Street marks the house of the Shatilov sisters, linked to Anton Chekhov's play Three Sisters.
The plaque is fixed to a building at 13 Demetre Tavdadebuli Street in Old Batumi. Its inscription records that the sisters Klavdia, Natalia and Sofia Shatilov lived there from 1888 to 1903, together with Natalia's son Pavlik Shishkov, and that conversations with them about events in Batumi inspired Anton Chekhov to write the play Three Sisters.
Chekhov wrote the play in 1900, and it was first performed in 1901 at the Moscow Art Theatre.
