The main symbol and spiritual centre of the Lithuanian capital as well as a monument to the Baptism of Lithuania. The basilica, built in the very heart of the city at the base of the castle hill, has witnessed many important historical events. Here Lithuanian rulers were crowned, here nobles and bishops were buried. Even today Holy Mass, celebrated in Vilnius Cathedral, marks the high point of many national and religious feasts and commemorations.

One of the most impressive architectural masterpieces of the Vilnius Old Town, built in the late XV–early XVI centuries. This is the most outstanding and enchanting Late Gothic building in Lithuania. Legend has it, that Napoléon Bonaparte was enchanted by the church‘s beauty and he wished that he could magically transport it to Paris in the palm of his hand.
