you can catch, some rare, but very rare oportunity to visit St. George Church and the former Monastery of Carmelites located on the the previous land of Radziwills near the Building of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Church of St George was concecrated in 1506 by Mikalojus Radvila - the grandpa of the famous Grand Dutchess of Lithuania and the Queen of Poland Barbora Radvilaitė.
The Monastery was closed in he very end of 18th century.
Later, the seminary was operating there till the II WW.
In Soviet times all the complex was operating as The Palace of Books.
And only now, when in 2016 the complex was returned to the Archidiocesis Vilnesis on sam rare ocations the complex is open for visiting for the public.
