The heritage of the Stotis district is as varied as its everyday life – here, little-known shrines are hidden in courtyards, sculptors, and painters are finding new spaces for their work, and the turn-of-the-century architecture is a delight for the eyes.
Here and there, we can still find shops and characters stuck in the past tense, as ‘Žas’ told us about in their song ‘He Lives in the Station’ a couple of decades ago. Once one of the most dangerous places in Vilnius, today the Station is more associated with a pleasant bustle, kept alive by the constant flow of travellers, the modernised Halės Market, as well as the niche bars and music clubs. What could be better than a place that is both vibrant today and has something to say about its past?
