Vilnius Castle Complex, Medieval castle complex in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The castle complex comprises three distinct structures: the Upper Castle, Lower Castle, and Crooked Castle, positioned along the Neris River banks.
During the 14th century, Grand Duke Gediminas established Vilnius Castle as the center of political power for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The castle houses exhibitions within the National Museum of Lithuania, displaying artifacts from medieval times through the Grand Duchy period.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds via public transport, with regular buses stopping near the entrance on Arsenalo Street.
The Gediminas Tower, standing atop a natural hill, hosts the ceremonial raising of Lithuania's national flag every January 1st.
