Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard

The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard presents eight tall pillars dividing its interior into three naves, with a length of 42 meters.

Construction began with a wooden structure in the late 15th century, followed by a brick building that became part of Vilnius defensive walls.

The church holds regular concerts in its 17-meter-high attic space, featuring performances of traditional Bernardine music and concert masses.

The church offers Sunday mass with sign language interpretation and maintains a library along with spaces for exhibitions and community activities.

The interior walls display early 16th-century frescoes combining Renaissance compositions with Gothic elements, and house Lithuania's oldest known crucifix sculpture.
