New building of Kazan vital records office to have a unique viewing platform
(KZN.RU, April 4, by Renat Shirmanov) Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin visited the construction site of the new vital records building. He noted that the wedding palace on the Kazanka waterfront may become one of the most significant architectural objects of the city due to its unique location.
To date, all major construction work has been completed, interior decoration being underway. Currently, wrought iron elements of the bowl are being installed. Their sketches were made by a well-known sculptor and artist Dashi Namdakov.
Ilsur Metshin also went up to the viewing platforms, totaling 1.2 thousand square meters, located at the upper floors. "The location of the Wedding Palace is just right. It affords views of the Kremlin, the Kazanka and Volga rivers and of old and new Kazan. There is no doubt that city folk will want to enjoy this magnificent panorama. The platform is also sure to become popular with tourists. Over time, the Palace is likely to become a new symbol of Kazan," said the mayor.
