The city was a trade and cultural center of medieval Central Asia and witnessed the exchange and fusion of eastern and western civilizations. The ruins of the ancient city of Almaty, with its surviving archaeological remains such as adobe walls and building foundations, have been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage Tentative List.
Historically, Almaty is famous for the "Almaty Incident" of 1218, in which the local governor killed a Mongol caravan, directly triggering Genghis Khan's western expedition. Today there is an archaeological museum displaying excavated pottery, coins and other artifacts. A project to preserve the "Blackmaila-Karatau" cultural landscape is under way in the surrounding area, making it an important destination for the study of Central Asian history and the Silk Road.
