📍 Kazakhstan
Ascension Cathedral stands in Almaty’s Panfilov Park as a testament to Russian Orthodox architecture. Completed in 1907, it’s notable for being built entirely of wood without a single nail, yet designed to withstand earthquakes. Bold, colorful facades and lavish interior icons draw visitors seeking both spiritual reflection and stunning photo opportunities. Services are conducted regularly, offering a glimpse into local religious traditions. Nearby, the park’s monuments and greenery invite a leisurely stroll before or after your visit. Modest dress is advised inside, and cameras are welcome, though some areas may require special permission. The cathedral’s central location makes it an essential stop on any Almaty itinerary, with cafes and souvenir shops nearby.
