CultureVisit: ~30 minFree
Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus and St Ladislaus, in the heart of the old town. Its neoclassical façade of Doric columns, by Laurynas Gucevičius in the late 18th century, looks like a Greek temple. Inside, the Baroque Chapel of St Casimir, from the 17th century, stands out. Very close by rises the freestanding bell tower, about 57 metres tall.
