About

The Independence Monument was erected on Republic Square in 1996 for the fifth anniversary of Kazakhstan's independence. The column is crowned by the Golden Warrior, a replica of the famous find from the Issyk burial mound. Sculptural groups at its base symbolise the unity of Kazakhstan's peoples, family and the continuity of generations.

The square is the venue for state ceremonies and city celebrations.
