Hill of Gediminas's Grave, Archaeological burial hill in Senamiestis, Lithuania
Rising from the grounds of Kalnu Park in Vilnius, this hill features an oval-shaped platform measuring 27 by 19 meters with stone-built altar.
During excavations in 1989, archaeologists uncovered 17th-18th century burials, including wooden coffins and various artifacts from ancient settlement periods.
Lithuanian people regard this hill as the burial place of Grand Duke Gediminas, who ruled the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1316 to 1341.
Visitors reach the hill through stairs on its western slope, where information signs detail the archaeological findings and historical importance of the site.
The hill contains a three-meter-wide terrace that runs along all sides of the fortification, positioned three meters below the main platform level.
