Three Crosses Monument

The Three Crosses Monument is one of Vilnius’s best-known landmarks, standing on a hill above the Old Town. Rebuilt in 1989, it commemorates Franciscan friars said to have been martyred here and has become a symbol of the city’s resilience. Many visitors come for the short uphill walk and the broad views over Vilnius’s rooftops, churches, and surrounding hills. If you want a place that combines local history, a clear city panorama, and easy access from the center, it is a worthwhile stop.
