Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen, Almaty, Memorial park in central Almaty, Kazakhstan
The park extends over 18 hectares with paths intersecting through groves of oaks, elms, aspens, maples, poplars, pines and firs.
Originally established in 1870 as the Old Cemetery Park, it was renamed in 1942 to honor 28 soldiers who defended Moscow during World War II.
The Memorial of Glory contains granite obelisks displaying names of the Panfilov heroes and features an eternal flame in the center of the park.
The park borders Kunayev, Gogol, Zenkov, and Kazybek Bi streets, providing multiple entry points for visitors throughout the day.
The Ascension Cathedral within the park survived a 10-point earthquake in 1911 and remains a functional religious building.
