In the political informations of this week, I hear a lot of the name Astana. When I did a search on this city, I was amazed by its exceptional beauty, I present it to you, my friends:

ASTANA is the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan, since December 10, 1997. Previously known as Akmolinsk (814,435 inhabitants in 2014).

 

The city was awarded the « Cities for Peace » prize of Unesco in 1999.

Astana is located in the heart of the Kazakh steppe, on the right bank of the Ichim River. It is distinguished by a resolutely avant-garde architecture, which combines skyscrapers, modernist monuments, historic monuments and green spaces.These are the best examples:
