Adam Mickiewicz Monument, Memorial monument near Saint Anne's Church, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The Adam Mickiewicz Monument is a stone statue in Vilnius depicting the Polish poet near the Neris River and Saint Anne's Church. The figure leans against a broken column and is accompanied by six relief panels showing scenes from his works.
The current monument was unveiled in 1984 after earlier plans from the 1930s were interrupted by World War II and political changes. It stands at a location that gained new significance for Vilnius in the years following the conflict.
The monument displays scenes from Mickiewicz's work on stone reliefs added in 1996, showing literary moments like 'The Road to Exile' and 'Konrad's Cell'. These carved panels help visitors connect the sculpture to the writer's most famous play.
The monument sits in the historic old town and is easy to reach on foot, especially when visiting the Bernardine Monastery and nearby churches. The area around the statue is open and accessible to all visitors.
A patriotic gathering took place here in 1987 that marked a significant moment in Lithuania's path to independence. This event made the location a symbol of resistance and national awakening.
