This historical monument is one of the city’s main attractions. The Bishops of Turkestan and Tashkent initiated the church’s construction in the early 19th century.

In 1903, the project received approval, and the cathedral was constructed between 1904 and 1907 under the supervision of A.P. Zenkov.
- Gogol St 144 - Visit the “Rahat” candy store, where tourists can purchase candies, sweets, and more.
- Arasan Wellness & SPA - In the late 1970s, due to a shortage of public baths, a proposal was made to construct a large SPA complex featuring swimming pools, Russian, Finnish, Eastern, and combined baths, a hydrotherapy center, and additional amenities such as cafes, hairdressers, and massage rooms. The building is located along the block’s perimeter and adjoins the 28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park on the eastern side. The Arasan building became a new phenomenon in Soviet architecture for its figurative characteristics and functionality of bathhouses. It is one of the last projects of the “Kunaev” period of Almaty’s development, noted for its complex plan and structure.
- Ulitsa Panfilova - Also known as Arbat Market, this is a delightful place to visit. Similar to city squares in other countries, Arbat is a pedestrian street stretch between Nazarbayeva and Ablai Khan, filled with artists, entertainers, shops, and a supermarket.
