A Summer Afternoon at Vilnius Castle: Panoramic Views of Old Town Charm

#europetrip #lithuania #vilnius Visiting the Vilnius Castle Complex on a beautiful summer afternoon was an unforgettable experience. Perched atop a hill, the complex offers breathtaking panoramic views of Vilnius Old Town, with its red-tiled rooftops, church spires, and winding streets stretching out below. The gentle summer breeze made the climb feel refreshing, and the clear blue skies added to the beauty of the scene. The castle’s remnants, including the iconic Gediminas’ Tower, stand as a proud symbol of Lithuania’s rich history, blending seamlessly with the surrounding greenery. Standing at the top, we were captivated by the serene and picturesque landscape, making it the perfect place to soak in the charm and heritage of Vilnius.

One's of the #most famous #vilnius landmarks is #st.AnneChurch that starts with the alleged construction in the 14th century but the current Gothic masterpiece is believed to have been built between 1495 and 1500 to a design by the Bohemian architect Benedikt Rejt (1453-1534), most famous for designing parts of Prague Castle. Visiting in 1812, Napoleon famously noted that he wanted to take the building back to Paris on the palm of his hand #lithuania #unforgetabletrip #church #happynewyear

#vilnius Town Hall Square was built in 1387 when #lithuania became a Christian state and Vilnius was granted Magdeburg rights. Thus, there appeared a need for headquarters for the city authorities. As the main square of the city was located here, it was decided to build the Town Hall in the same place. #unforgetabletrip #oldtown #happynewyear
