Comment:

Facade of Vilnius Cathedral. Between 1786 and 1792 three sculptures by Kazimierz Jelski were placed on the roof of the Cathedral - Saint Casimir on the south side, Saint Stanislaus on the north and Saint Helena in the centre. Presumably the sculpture of St. Casimir originally symbolised Lithuania, that of St. Stanislaus symbolised Poland, and that of St. Helena symbolised Russia's dominance. These sculptures were removed in 1950 and restored in 1997.

GediminasStatue * For centuries Vilnius had no monument to honour the city’s founder, the Grand Duke Gediminas, but this was set right in September 1996. He stands more or less on the same spot where an iron wolf (strangely represented by V. Kašuba in the statue in stone) he saw in a dream induced him to found the city in the early 14th century. * 1956 x 2934 * (873KB)
