Teave

Kiired faktid: Lukiškių väljak on Vilniuse suurim avalik väljak, hõlmates 4,4 hektarit linna keskuses. Ümbritsevad tänavad on koduks segule nõukogudeaegsest arhitektuurist, moodsatele saatkondadele ja Püha Jakobi ja Püha Filippuse kirikule, mis on silmatorkavalt kaunis.

Esiletõstmised: Väljak oli kunagi Nõukogude okupatsiooni ajal tähtis hukkamiskoht ja täna tähistab seda ajalugu vaikselt muru seas väike mälestusrist. Suveõhtutel muutub avar ruum improvisatsiooniliseks kogunemiskohaks, kus kohalikud mängivad muusikat, rula- ja rulluisutavad ning peavad piknikku muutuva Balti taeva all.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • Look for the small wooden cross near the Church of St. James and St. Philip, a quiet memorial to those executed here during Soviet times.
  • Visit on a Saturday morning when the nearby Kalvarijų turgus market spills into the adjacent streets with fresh produce and flowers.
  • The square gets very hot in summer with little shade, so bring water and a hat if visiting midday.
  • Photograph the contrast between the baroque church facade and the stark Soviet administrative buildings across the square for a striking shot.
