The tour starts from the main square of the country – "Independence Square". It is here that you can feel the boundless expanse and freedom of the country. The main decoration is the monument "Kazakh Eli" – a large-scale complex reflecting the ancient history, culture and achievements of the Kazakh people. A single architectural ensemble includes the Shabyt Palace of Creativity, the Palace of Independence and the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Standing on the square, it is impossible not to notice a building that looks more like a pyramid and looks amazing in the middle of the Kazakh city – the Palace of Peace and Harmony, the author of which is the British architect Sir Norman Foster.
