Alumnat, Renaissance seminary building in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The Alumnat building features Italian arcades across its main yard, with architectural elements reflecting northern European Renaissance adaptations.
Pope Gregory XIII established the seminary in 1582 to convert Orthodox and Protestant students to Catholicism through theological education.
The building combines eastern representational courtyards with western semi-enclosed patios, reflecting the architectural influences of different European regions.
Located at Universiteto Street 4, the Alumnat stands near the Presidential Palace and remains accessible for architectural heritage tours.
The structure incorporates earlier Gothic elements within its 1622 Renaissance design, creating a distinct architectural composition on sloped terrain.
