Landmark structure, cultural centre and opera house in Astana
The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, also translated as the Pyramid of Peace and Accord, is a 62-metre-high (203 ft) pyramid in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, that serves as a non-denominational national spiritual centre and event venue. Designed by architectural practice Foster and Partners and developed in partnership with Aldar Properties, the Palace is surmounted by a modern stained glass apex by architectural artist Brian Clarke. The Palace was constructed to house the triennial Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, and completed in 2006.
