    The Palace of the Republic (Almaty) is one of the most interesting and functional architectural structures in the southern capital of Kazakhstan. The building, built in the Soviet period, today amazes with its sophisticated style and originality of constructive solutions.
    The Palace of the Republic (Almaty) was built on a specially designed project using the latest building materials. Roof area of 10, 000 square meters. m keep eight reinforced concrete pillars installed at a distance from the main building. Thanks to this engineering solution, it seems that the roof has no contact points with the object, as if it was floating in the air.
    The facade is decorated with a seashell, the interior is covered with white marble. In the auditorium, designed for 3,000 seats, panels of precious wood were installed, which made it possible to ensure high acoustic characteristics of the room. To keep the walls cool and cool in the inner halls, the Palace of the Republic (Alma-Ata) was equipped with a unique air-conditioning system, to which the icy water was supplied from the Malaya Almatinka river from the Alatau mountains.
    The project was developed by architects L. Ukhobotov, V. Kim, Y. Ratushny, N. Ripinsky, V. Alle, with the participation of engineers A. Sokolov and B. Delov, in 1971.

      The Palace of the Republic is one of the most important concert halls in Kazakhstan and a popular attraction in Almaty.

      The building was constructed in 1970 and named in honor of Vladimir Lenin. It received its current name, "Palace of the Republic," in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR.

      The Palace of the Republic underwent reconstruction in 2010-2011, which unfortunately resulted in the complete loss of the building's original architectural appearance.
