A trip to Kaunas

Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania, which is located on the banks of the Vilia River. It is famous for its beautiful architecture, magnificent cathedrals, interesting museums and the green forests surrounding the city.
It is better to start your trip around Kaunas by visiting the local Town Hall. It was built in the 16th century and was a single-storey building in the Gothic style. Later, the second floor was completed, as well as a large tower on the east side of the building. The first floor housed a trading room and guards, while the second floor was occupied by the chancery, treasury, court and archive. In the 17th century, the Town Hall underwent significant reconstruction and acquired a Renaissance style. The municipality underwent the following drastic changes in the 18th century. During the reconstruction under the supervision of architect J. The facade of Matekeris has acquired the Baroque style, and the tower has another floor. Today, the City Hall houses the wedding palace, as well as other celebrations.
The main Orthodox shrine of the city is the Annunciation Cathedral, which is located in the very center of Kaunas. It is a building in the Vladimir-Suzdal style. The facade of the shrine is decorated with 5 domes with gilded crosses, in the western part there is a porch with columns and three entrances. Inside, visitors will be able to see an altar with two altars, as well as a miraculous icon of the Surdega Mother of God.
A unique architectural landmark is the Pazhaislis complex, which is located in a forest on the banks of the Neman River. Built in the 17th century, the building is a monastery for hermits. The complex is designed in the Baroque style and includes many structures. The main one is a 49-meter hexagonal church consisting of two towers and a dome. Inside, visitors will be able to see pink and black marble walls, moldings, frescoes, and bas-reliefs.
One of the oldest stone castles in Lithuania is located in the old part of Kaunas. It was built back in the 14th century and over the years has performed various functions from defensive to commercial. In the 17th century, due to the Neris River, most of the building was destroyed. Today, tourists will only be able to see the remains of the walls and two towers. One of them has a museum telling about the centuries-old history of the castle. Also, theatrical performances are constantly held on the territory of the complex, which take the audience back to the time of the knights.
