In the heart of Panfilov Park, this church is one of the city's most beautiful monuments, and Almaty's oldest building. Constructed of wood (it is one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world, with a tower 56 m high), it has withstood every earthquake since 1904, even though it was assembled without a single nail. This large, brightly-colored and gilded church was returned to Orthodox worship in 1995, after having been transformed into a museum and concert hall during the Soviet period.
