Monument «Astana-Bayterek»

The monument “Bayterek” is one of the main attractions and an absolute symbol of Nur-Sultan city. In translation from the Kazakh language, its name means poplar tree. Bayterek symbolizes the state, which kept its historical roots and which has steady support and the aspiration for future prosperity.

On the mark of 97 m, there is a sight area from which a picturesque panorama of the present-day city opens up. The number 97 is not random, it symbolizes the year of transfer of capital from Almaty to Astana (now Nur-Sultan city). In the center of the panoramic hall, there is a wooden globe with 17 petals signed by 17 representatives of different world’s religions.
