Hill of Crosses – absolutely unique place, even on a global scale. The most important religious site in Lithuania and essential site for catholics from the entire world. Cross-making has been recognized by UNESCO as a non-physical heritage of Lithuania – symbol of national and religious identity, which unites the local community facing hardship/agony/misfortune.

It’s actually meant to be a symbol of love, light and hope for Lithuania.

Once upon a time, the Hill of Crosses was a dangerous destination during the Soviet Era. Placing crosses here was forbidden. So, you quite literally risked your life to do so.
But, today, it’s a religious symbol of love and peace – uniting the community in the face of adversity.
