Vilnius Old Town

The Vilnius Town Hall, at Didžioji gatvė 31, is one of the few surviving historic town halls in Lithuania and a focal point of the Old Town. The Town Hall Square stretches out in front of the building, while inside, a variety of ceremonies, concerts, and music festivals take place. The building is first documented in 1503. Originally, it served a wide range of administrative purposes, housing not only meeting rooms, a courtroom, and a chancellery but also an archive. The basement also contained a prison. Today, the historic building is not only an architectural landmark but also a lively event venue that hosts cultural events such as the "Čiurlioniada" festival, contributing to the cultural identity of the Lithuanian capital.
