Vilnius Cathedral Crypt

Beneath the grand neoclassical facade of Vilnius Cathedral lies a hidden world of underground chambers that tell the story of Lithuania's spiritual transformation. The crypt contains the remains of medieval chapels, fragments of earlier churches, and the foundations of what may have been a pagan temple. The underground tour reveals royal tombs including those of Grand Dukes and their families, medieval frescoes that survived centuries underground, and archaeological finds that document the site's continuous use for worship spanning nearly a millennium. The atmosphere is hushed and reverent.
