O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Lukiškių trg je največji javni trg v Vilniusu, ki obsega 4,4 hektarja v središču mesta. Okoliške ulice so dom mešanice sovjetske arhitekture, sodobnih veleposlaništev in osupljivo lepe cerkve sv. Jakoba in sv. Filipa.

Poudarki: Trg je bil nekoč glavno prizorišče usmrtitev med sovjetsko okupacijo, danes pa majhen spominski križ tiho označuje to zgodovino sredi trave. Poletnih večerov se ogromen odprt prostor spremeni v improvizirano zbirališče, kjer domačini igrajo glasbo, rolkajo in prirejajo piknike pod spreminjajočo se baltsko svetlobo.

Notranji nasveti

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.
