Walk along the pathways and see crosses of every size and material, each one carrying its own meaning. The site is deeply connected to Lithuania’s past and has served as a place of resilience and silent protest through generations. Visitors often find themselves moved by the quiet intensity that surrounds the hill.

Next, visit Rundāle Palace, one of the architectural gems of the Baltics. Designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, the same architect behind the Winter Palace, Rundāle captivates with its intricate décor and harmonious design.
