Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

One of the most important cultural, historical, and religious monuments in Lithuania, the Gate of Dawn can be seen towering in Vilnius. The city gate was built between 1503 and 1522 and is the only one that still stands from the ten that were built over the years. Originally built as part of the city’s defense fortifications, the gate soon had other roles. Religious artifacts were added to the gate in the 16th century to bless the city from attacks; visitors can still see the icon of The Blessed Virgin Mary, which is said to have miraculous powers.
