A beautiful cathedral that is steeped in history. it dates back centuries.
One of the most famous landmarks of Vilnius' first buildings was built in 1387. Because of the many renovations, the church gradually merged various styles of different periods. Gothic styles, Renaissance styles and Baroque styles. The church was white as a whole. In fact, the personal feeling is more similar to the Greek building. There are three statues on the front mountain wall. The cross in the middle is Santa Ana. The right is San Cazimiras. The left is San Stanislav. Don't ask who is it. The small copy of the homework is 52 meters high next to the limited cathedral. The clock tower is the watch tower of the 13th century ancient castle. There are 17 clocks and watches in the Soviet era. The church was transformed into an art gallery. Lithuania restored it after independence. The church still has Gothic watercolor murals of the late 14th century and church utensils of the early 20th century. It has a palace for burial.
Vilnius Tallinn and Riga, I still like Vilnius the most. The other two old cities are too small. Vilnius Old Town needs to walk all day, there are many coffee shops. It is already cold in autumn, the Republic on the other side is worth your visit, no public transportation is required, walking is the best way. It was quiet at night, with almost no nightlife.

The cathedral in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, Eastern European countries.
It will be better to go to the exterior on a sunny day. It is very easy to find in the city. The old town is within walking distance and free entry.
