Palace of Peace and Reconciliation

A symbol of unity and tolerance

What country first comes to mind when you hear the word "pyramid"? Of course, Egypt! However, Kazakhstan has its own pyramid - the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation. The exceptional building, built by the celebrated British architect Norman Foster, includes a conference hall, a concert hall, an art gallery, and many more. Here, for the first time, a grandiose Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions was held, which was initiated by the President of Kazakhstan to resolve the issue of religious wars.

The Palace of Peace expresses the essence of Kazakhstan, where cultures, and various nationalities coexist in peace, harmony and accord.
