Admiring the old city, beautiful at any time of the year, we rarely think about the existence of another old Vilnius, the one right under our feet.
The dungeons of Vilnius are a place shrouded in mysteries and mysteries, a place designed to give all its guests an incredible sense of travel into the distant past. It is such places that are fascinating, making our imagination especially active, because there, in the dark shadows of a shimmering light, history comes to life.
We will start our tour with the most famous Vilnius dungeons located in the heart of Vilnius under the Archicathedral Cathedral at the foot of the Castle Mountain Gyademinas.
Going down the steps for six centuries down we will find ourselves in the 14th century, and no one will remain indifferent to see the old Gothic masonry, the secret royal crypt or the sarcophagus of Queen Barbara Radziwill, the burial of the Grand Dukes and the Polish King Alexander, an ancient fresco, miraculously preserved in a damp and dark dungeon.
But interesting not only the dungeons of the Cathedral! Most of the old town is underground. The time and growth of the city hid the old Gothic crypts of churches, shrouded in secrets the basements of the amber museum and the caches of the Jewish ghetto.
So let’s learn together what strange and gloomy discoveries promise the underground labyrinths that permeate our Vilnius!
