Angelic Tales

The Otherworldly Beings of Vilnius

It is said that every city has its own spirit. We can feel the spirit of Vilnius as we walk through the streets of the Old Town, wander into courtyards or look up at church towers. Sometimes it may seem that something is protecting us here. Perhaps angels? Perched on rooftops, hidden in works of art, or simply living in people’s hearts.

It would probably be hard to find someone who doesn’t like angels. We all secretly hope that we have our own guardian angel, and we often mention them in songs – they run with their lips, carry kisses, or the angel of sadness finds its way back to you…

This route invites you to embark on a journey following in the footsteps of angels in Vilnius – from ancient sacred images to contemporary artistic interpretations. Together, let’s discover the stories of the winged guardians of Vilnius, along with the history of the people and their values.
