À propos
Faits rapides: La place Lukiškių est la plus grande place publique de Vilnius, couvrant 4,4 hectares au centre-ville. Les rues environnantes abritent un mélange d'architecture d'époque soviétique, d'ambassades modernes et de la magnifique église Saint-Jacques et Saint-Philippe, d'une beauté austère.
Points forts: La place fut autrefois un important lieu d'exécution pendant l'occupation soviétique, et aujourd'hui une petite croix commémorative marque silencieusement cette histoire parmi l'herbe. Les soirs d'été, le vaste espace ouvert se transforme en lieu de rassemblement impromptu où les habitants jouent de la musique, font du skateboard et pique-niquent sous la lumière baltique changeante.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
