Vilnius Old TownThe Old town began formatting in medieval time already and nowadays it is one of the largest townscape complexes in Eastern Europe. The Vilnius Old Town includes many churches, museums, living houses and architectural monuments. A very interesting fact is that churches in the Old Town are of many various religions. Spread really close to each other churches of Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy and Judaism don't surprise local people.![]() European ParkA few miles north of Vilnius town centre Lithuanian sculptor Gintaras Karosas founded the Europos Parkas Europos Parkas or European Park is a meeting place with an intense and international atmosphere. There is the open air art museum in the geographic centre of the European continent provides excellent facilities for conferences, workshops, meetings and other events.

The huge windows eliminate boundary between the nature outside and inside space of the building.![]() Forest Museum 'Girios Aidas'The museum was established in 1971. It has expositions of animals and birds. Witches and other legendary characters are hiding in the hollows of oaks, birds are singing and the forest sighs.![]() St Anne's ChurchMyth, top encrusted towers identify St Anne's, the church that so impressed Napoleon Bonaparte that he's said to have wanted to take it back to Paris in the palm of his hand. Intricate, red-brick traceries weave like tangled thorn branches across its tall, narrow facade. The most outstanding Gothic building in Lithuania, it's nevertheless a relatively late example of the style: the concealment is thought to have been completed only in 1582, by which time the Baroque was already beginning to make its presence felt in Vilnius. Inside, spindly lines of red-brick rib vaulting extend across a white ceiling, sheltering a relatively undistinguished ensemble of altars bunched up at the end of the small nave.![]() Gediminas CastleIt was the beginning of 14th century when Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas stopped for an overnight near confluence of Neris and Vilnele rivers. That night he dreamt an iron wolf howling on a hill. In the morning his soothsayer Lizdeika explained his dream as a sign for him to build here a city as it will become a well known and widely resounded in all over the World. Gediminas ordered to pour a mound at the same place he slept. On the hill there a castle was built, the predecessor for the nowadays Gediminas castle.![]() |
