A NEW CAPITAL

Can you name any modern buildings in Nur-Sultan?

What other interesting buildings are there in Kazakhstan?

The capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan, was called Akmola until 1998. It is the second largest city in the country. Almaty, which was the capital until 1997, is the largest.

Nur-Sultan has a population of about 1 million.

Visitors to Nur-Sultan love the modern buildings in the city.

The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation includes a religious centre, an opera house with 1,500 seats and a library. It is a perfect pyramid, 62 metres high with a 62 x 62-metre square base.

Bayterek, Nur-Sultan's most famous landmark, is a tower. It's 105 metres tall and looks like a very big tree. It has a glass 'egg' on top of it. Tourists can go up to the egg and get a fantastic view of the 'youngest capital in the world'.

The Central Concert Hall looks like a flower. Inside the 'flower' you can find a very large concert hall (3,500 seats), other music halls, a cinema and restaurants.

Nur-Sultan is certainly an exciting and attractive city for tourists. That's why more and more people visit the city every year!
