The Boulevard of Unity and Accord
In the very center of Aktobe there is a beautiful boulevard, built to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the town.
The boulevard is located between the St. Nicholas Cathedral and the Nur Gasyr Mosque, symbolizing the unity of different religions and nationalities in Kazakhstan. There is a memorial rotunda, an amphitheater with 170 seats, and Shanyrak monument, which also represents the unity of people living in the country (shanyrak is a main part of a yurt - Kazakh national dwelling). Moreover, there is a musical fountain called “The Prosperity Bowl”, which has become a symbol of hospitality and generosity of the people of Kazakhstan. This is a great place for walking and taking pictures.
