Audio tour The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation

The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation is one of the most iconic buildings in Astana, Kazakhstan. It was designed by the famous British architect Norman Foster and opened in 2006. The structure is shaped like a giant glass and steel pyramid, standing about 62 meters high, symbolizing peace, unity, and the friendship among different cultures and religions in Kazakhstan.

Inside, the palace hosts international conferences, concerts, and cultural exhibitions, including the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. The interior is filled with natural light streaming through stained glass panels, creating a calm and spiritual atmosphere.

From the top floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Astana’s skyline. The design and purpose of the palace together reflect Kazakhstan’s vision of harmony between people of all faiths and nationalities. It’s not only an architectural landmark but also a symbol of dialogue and tolerance in the modern world.
