The story

Story · The Hill of the Three Crosses

  • nl

You're standing at the Three Crosses, on a hill in Kalnai Park high above Vilnius. The hill goes by several names: the Hill of Three Crosses, but also Bald Hill or Crooked Hill. Take a look at those three crosses side by side. They've been part of the city skyline for centuries and have become a true symbol of Vilnius. They even appeared on the fifty litas banknote, back when Lithuania still had its own currency.
