Panfilov Park is a cherished rectangular green space located in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This 18-hectare park was renamed in 1942 to honor the Panfilov Guardsmen, a group of 28 soldiers who heroically defended Moscow during World War II. As you stroll through its peaceful, tree-lined paths, you'll find memorials like the Memorial of Glory, featuring an Eternal Flame, commemorating the fallen soldiers.
Within the park, you can explore notable landmarks such as the Ascension Cathedral, one of the tallest wooden structures in the world, known for its vibrant colors and intricate architecture. The park also houses the Museum of Folk Musical Instruments and a monument to those who died in the Afghan War. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or just enjoying a tranquil environment, the Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen offers a rich blend of all three. It’s the perfect place to soak in Almaty’s heritage and spend a quiet afternoon.
