Author’s excursion: Vilnius dungeons (3 hours)

How many secrets, unexpected discoveries and miracles are hidden in the underground city: these are secret tunnels, and dungeons, and church cellars, and forgotten stories about city life, treasures found, legends and myths about wars, lovers, deceit and deceit - all this you will learn during the tour. We will begin the excursion from the cellars under the Archcathedral, where you will see how and where the nobility, rulers, bishops of the cathedral and their assistants are buried; where the first cathedral stood and what happened to it. All cellars intended for the exposition (except for the Mausoleum of rulers) date back to the XV–XVI centuries. The Cathedral acquired its modern look in the XIX century. You will have a unique opportunity to see the oldest fresco in Lithuania (XIV century). Other sights of the dungeon will also attract attention - the secret Crypt of the kings, the Mausoleum of the rulers, where the remains of Barbora Radvilaite rest. The exposition, installed in crypts and corridors, introduces funerary traditions and archaeological finds (among the oldest and most valuable is a silver sculpture of an Angel).
