Oral, Regional capital city in northwestern Kazakhstan
Oral spreads across 700 square kilometers at the confluence of the Ural and Chagan rivers, marking the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia.
Founded in 1584 by Cossacks as Yaitsky Gorodok, the settlement received its current name from Catherine the Great in 1775 following the Pugachev Rebellion.
The Cathedral of Archangel Mikhail, constructed in 1751, stands as one of the main religious structures, reflecting the Russian architectural influence in the region.
The city maintains regular train connections to major destinations including Moscow, Astana, and Aqtobe, with the central Dostyk Avenue containing shops and restaurants.
