  Cathedral Basilica 

   Here is symbol of city centre and if you see Cathedral, you’re in the entrance of centre and ready for exploring city 😊

    Also Cathedral is heart of catholic symbolism of Lithuanian people. This cathedral has been survived from various wars and fire this is why you can see from neoclassical architecture style to baraoque and Renaissance touching which show us the restorations times. Beside this ,written that Cathedral has been built above pagan temple in lots of sources. As look that much respect to nature of Lithuanian people, celebration the summer solstice in forest, paganism symbols in some constructions; we can see their pagan roots.

   Other legend is about similar with star patern miracle stone in near the Cathedral and Bell Tower. When you find this stone, stand out, make a wish and turn 360 degree around yourself seven times. Don’t forget to close your eyes 😊 I hope your wishes will come true 😊

Now even it has constitution, national song etc. But none of government recognise Republic of Užupis and Vilnius doesn’t have any problem with this situation that’s why it’s not a politic issue. NEXT STOP IS LATVIA
