Once Kazakhstan’s capital and its largest metropolis, Almaty is translated as the “city of apple trees” because of its surrounding forests of wild apples in the foothills of the Zaili Ala-Too Mountains. Thought to be the place of origin of the modern apple, Almaty is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia, with its first settlement dating back to the bronze age with many archaeological landmarks serving as testimony. Almaty was also one of the most important trade centres on the Great Silk Road.
