Markučiai, Residential district in eastern Vilnius, Lithuania.
Markučiai is a residential district in eastern Vilnius featuring traditional wooden houses mixed with contemporary construction on sloped terrain. The neighborhood sits within the Pavilniai Regional Park near the Vilnia River valley.
The area grew from a rural settlement into a modern suburban neighborhood with roots extending to medieval times. Archaeological evidence points to the former presence of the Kiškų-Chodkevičių Palace in the region.
The Pushkin Museum, established in the 1940s, exhibits personal items and artifacts related to the family of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.
The district sits within a 15-minute walk from the city center and connects well to central Vilnius through public transportation. Proximity to parks and green spaces makes it accessible for visitors wanting to explore nature near the city.
The Chapel of St. Varvara, built in the district's early years, retains its original decoration with stained glass windows and religious icons. It continues to serve the local Orthodox community that has worshipped there since its establishment.
