Stalo Kalnas, Archaeological site in central Vilnius, Lithuania.
Stalo Kalnas is an archaeological site in central Vilnius located on a flat hilltop that contains remnants of ancient fortifications and earthworks. The terrain shows visible layers and structures that date back to prehistoric settlement periods.
This location was established as a settlement in prehistoric times and was later fortified to defend the area. Scientific investigations conducted in the 1990s uncovered deep deposits containing objects and pottery from these ancient occupation phases.
The site functions as a venue for summer concerts and local celebrations, where people gather to enjoy music and performances throughout the warm months. A performance stage set up decades ago remains the focal point for these community gatherings.
The site is accessible via marked pathways that connect to nearby streets and lead through the park grounds to the hilltop area. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear since the ground can be uneven in places and some routes involve slight elevation changes.
The hilltop served as the location for an early sporting event that played a role in the city's history and reflects the site's long connection to public gatherings. This event illustrates how this historic place has been used for different purposes over time.
