Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Legend has it that the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas once had a dream that a large wolf stood on top of a hill where the Duke hunted and howled loud enough to be mistaken for a hundred wolves. It was explained to him that the dream meant that a city should be built at that particular site – a city that would one day be known around the world. Gediminas’ Tower is the only thing that remains from the Upper Castle that the Duke, and those who followed him, built.

Visitors can go on a quick hike to get to the Gediminas' Tower and explore the surroundings as well as the museum that is now housed inside the tower. Artifacts include archaeological findings from the hill and surrounding areas.
