Ascension Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The Ascension Cathedral stretches 56 meters into the sky, featuring golden domes and a multicolored exterior that reflects traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements.
The cathedral, completed in 1907, endured through earthquakes and Soviet-era restrictions, serving various functions including a museum and concert hall until 1995.
The interior displays numerous religious icons painted by artist Nikolay Gavrilovich Khludov, representing the spiritual heritage of Kazakhstan's Orthodox Christian community.
Visitors can explore both levels of the cathedral during regular opening hours, with guided tours available to learn about its construction and artistic details.
The entire structure was built using Tien-Shan spruce wood without metal nails, incorporating a special framework that allows movement during seismic activity.
