Day 134. Old Kalvarijų Street.

Kalvarijų street (5,5 km) is one of the Oldest  (16th century) streets in Vilnius. It has existed since always :D

It starts at the Green Bidge and leads to Verkiai and the Verkiai Calvary 

It was formed in the 16th Century, together with Ukmergės street, as two main streets of the Šnipiškės suburb. 

Few things that I would like to point out:

1) Bronius Laurinavičius Square 

Sculpture of Antanas Kmieliauskas


Bronius Laurinavičius - Lithuanian priest, a memeber of  Lithuanian Helsinki Group  who in strange circumstances died on the Kalvarijų - Žalgirio streets crossing  on 24 November 1981.
