We all need peace, especially now. It turned out, that in Astana, Kasahstan they were concerned about peace long ago. Not far from the President Palace, on the other bank of Ishim River they built the Palace of Peace.
The purpose of this unusual building is to hold annual conference between world religioun leaders. The latest one took place on Sept 14-15 this year. You can be surprised but Russian Orthodox Chirch leader declined to attend this event. Looks like he had more important tasks.
Inside the building there are a theater, two conference halls and offices to supply the building with money for maintainance.
You can visit museum inside the building. Guide is free and tour is rather interesting. In addition of building overview, you could know the history of the building, observe gifts from various countries and religiouns and see the attributes of four world religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism)
