A new administrative center of Astana erected on the left bank of the Ishim River is full of architectural sights and despite its youth, still attracts tourists. Striking in both its power and the scale of its construction. Among the most interesting facilities there are “Astana-Baiterek” tower which, rather quickly, won the hearts of all and became a symbol of Kazakhstan, the egg-shaped building of National Archive and the graceful and statuesque “Nur-Astana” mosque; a Round Square with its surreal lines and Central Square framed with Ministry Houses. “Khan-Shatyry” facility, a creation of Englishman Norman Foster, where the idea of everlasting summer is realized, being covered with a gigantic tent, and offering shelter from the cold of winter. A concert hall of non-standard form; dozens of skyscrapers of different configurations and certainly, “Akorda” the President Palace, with its splendid decor making it the most glorified building of the whole country.
