Vilnius-the
capital of Lithuania. The rich history of Vilnius is borne witness
to by the diversity of its architectural features, by churches and
towers, fortifications, secluded medieval courtyards and narrow
streets. And it is no wonder that the old city is on the World Heritage
list. Here all the greatest architectural styles of Europe meet
and illuminate each other; gothic, renaissance, baroque and classical.
Vilnius is natural centre for the political, economical and cultural
life of the country.
