This is Astana’s main architectural landmark, embodying the Tree of Life and the idea behind the capital’s relocation in 1997. It stands 97 meters tall, and the glass sphere crowning it—with a diameter of 22 meters—symbolizes the golden egg of the sacred bird Samruk. Inside the sphere is a panoramic observation deck.
The heights of the observation deck—93 and 97 meters—were not chosen at random: the number 97 symbolizes the year 1997, when Astana officially became the capital of Kazakhstan.
