« Vilnius Old Town is one of the oldest in Europe. Its formation began in the 13th century, but the architecture largely preserved dates back to the 14th to 16th centuries.
Strolling through the streets of the Old Town, one can easily envision the Middle Ages – narrow, winding alleys, closely built houses, and Gothic cathedrals all transport you back several centuries.
The architectural styles in old Vilnius include Gothic and Baroque, Renaissance and Classicism. Among the Gothic structures, a must-visit is the pearl of this style – the Church of St. Anne, constructed in the 16th century from red bricks. This Vilnius temple became the last vibrant chord of the fading Gothic style in Europe. »
