Baiterek

Even in 1999, the President of the Republic proposed the idea of constructing a facility that has its roots in the ancient tradition. The head of state even drawn the sketch. Among many pro­jects of architects from different countries the idea of «Baiterek» was responded and selected. Nur Sultan monument was built in 2002 in the center of Nur Sultan. This monument shows that the history of Kazakh people is like a mighty tree with a spreading crown and long, strong roots going into seven lay­ers deep into the earth. My roots go far, and leaves rise high, we still will grow and develop, so this is the meaning of this facility.
