Neutrality Arch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Neutrality Arch was erected by Saparmurat Niyazov to commemorate Turkmenistan's official neutrality. The structure is the tallest building of the capital Ashgabat. It features ornate inscriptions and a glass elevator. Atop the monument is a gold-plated statue of Niyazov which rotates 360 degrees every 24 hours so as to always face the sun.
