Kyzylorda

The history of the Kazakh city of Kyzylorda started around the 19th century. When the fortress Ak-mosque was built on the trade route connecting Russia and Central Asia. This place is included in the historical tour around Kazakhstan.

During the historical tour of Kazakhstan, you will learn that in 1853, the fortress was conquered by Russia, and General Perovsky decided to rename it in honor of himself—Fort Perovsky. Then, this small town around the mosque was renamed the city of Perovsk.

In 1867, the city became the center of Syrdarya county. In the paintings of the famous painter named Vereshchagin, there are so many paintings of the life of this city and its development. For instance, "The Church of Fort Perovsky," "Fort Perovsky," etc.

In 1908, there were reportedly around 75,000 people. For the same reason, Perovsk was at the center of events during the October Revolution.

In 1925, it was decided to rename the city Kyzylorda (Kyzyl-Orda). It is considered a young, modern city in Kazakhstan with an abundance of greenery and modern buildings.
