Vilnius District Municipality

The municipality spans 2,129 square kilometers around the capital city of Vilnius, sharing borders with Belarus and multiple Lithuanian districts.

The territory belonged to the Baltic East Lithuanian Barrow Culture between the 3rd and 12th centuries, with numerous archaeological sites remaining within its boundaries.

The municipality contains 23 elderships with diverse communities, including a substantial Polish minority that represents 46 percent of the local population.

The population increased from 84,000 in the early 1990s to 116,584 by January 2024 due to migration from Vilnius to suburban areas.

Three ancient settlements - Nemenčinė, Maišiagala, and Medininkai - served as defense hubs during Lithuania's Christianization period in the 13th century.
