Neutrality Monument, Ashgabat
Three sweeping supports frame the Neutrality Monument's layered tower.
The story behind the place
The Neutrality Monument is one of Ashgabat's distinctive modern landmarks. Its documented tripod form uses three splayed supports around a central tower with observation levels, dark glazing and gold decoration. A gilded sculpture crowns the structure. The monument is associated with Turkmenistan's policy of neutrality, while its unusual engineering gives it a silhouette quite different from the nearby city's other columns and domes.
