The imposing Vilnius Cathedral is the most charming religious centre in this small Eastern European town and the most romantic landmark in the city. A clean white appearance, six huge stone pillars stand in front of the main hall. Right in front of the church, there is also a tall white tower, above the black tower, a cross stands upright.
Walk by the Vilnius Old Town, it takes only a few minutes to reach the Church Square. Vilnius Cathedral is located in the heart of the entire square. This imposing cathedral, the most fascinating exterior, is the three statues on the front. The goddess of Santa Ana in the middle holds the sacred cross. On the left side of St. Stanislav and the right side of San Casilas, overlooking the church, you can see three majestic statues, and feel the power of divine greatness.
This church is also one of the oldest churches in Vilnius. As early as 800 years ago, a wooden church was built here. Later it was converted into a more spectacular Gothic church. However, the church was unfortunately destroyed by the war. Today's church is where people built the imposing Baroque church today.
This great church, conservative and hardship, has been rebuilt and finally ushered in today's glory and prosperity. Walking into the interior of the church, it is extremely magnificent, showing many ancient watercolor murals, which are very magnificent.
This is not only the central place for people's religious activities, but also the beautiful wishes of the people. After many hardships, we will welcome the beautiful life today. The Vilnius people know how to cherish.
The cathedral is in neoclassical style, which is rare in Europe with old churches everywhere. The white building is very new and beautiful.
Vilnius Tallinn and Riga, I still like Vilnius the most. The other two old cities are too small. Vilnius’s old town takes a whole day to walk, and there are many coffee shops. It's already very cold in autumn, and the opposite country is worth your visit. Public transportation is not needed. Walking is the best way. At night it is very quiet and there is almost no nightlife.
Vilnius Cathedral, a Catholic church located in the Old City of Vilnius, was built in 1387. After several restorations, it gradually merged the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. There are three statues on the top of the gable with a hand held in the middle. The cross is Saint Ana, and the left and right sides are Saint Stanislav and Saint Kazimilas. There are frescoes, paintings, sculptures and other artworks in the church. In front of the cathedral stands the bell tower, which constitutes a beautiful panoramic view. There are other ancient buildings and attractions around the cathedral.
Very simple and magnificent church. The pure white walls and colonnades make people feel very sacred. The location in the center of Vilnius city can be reached on foot. When the weather is good, the church and the bell tower next to it are beautiful under the blue sky
[Scenery] Beautiful [Interesting] Cultural connotation [Value for money] Very good
There are fewer people when I go in the evening, very quiet, suitable for sitting and resting
For centuries, it has been an important church in the minds of Catholics. Many important events in Lithuanian history are related to it. Three statues stand on the gable of the front of the church. The one holding the cross in the middle is Saint Anna, the right is Saint Kazimilas, and the left is Saint Stanislav. Next to the cathedral is the 52-meter-high bell tower, which is the watchtower of the ancient castle from the 13th to the 17th century, and contains 17 clocks.
