Gediminas Monument in Vilnius, Bronze monument in Cathedral Square, Lithuania
The bronze statue represents Grand Duke Gediminas standing next to his horse, holding a sword in his left hand and raising his right hand.
Gediminas, who ruled the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1275 to 1341, doubled the size of Lithuania through diplomatic relations with Western Europe.
The monument, created by sculptor Vytautas Kašuba, represents the democratic leadership of Gediminas and his role in establishing Vilnius as Lithuania's capital.
Visitors can scan a QR code at the base of the monument to access audio information about the statue and its connection to modern Vilnius.
The statue faces the Cathedral Bell Tower in the exact location where Gediminas established the city of Vilnius after his famous dream of an iron wolf.
