CultureVisit: ~15 minFree
Baroque church built by the Jesuits in the early 17th century, the first of this style in Vilnius. It is dedicated to St Casimir, patron saint of Lithuania, and its dome is shaped like a crown. Under the Soviets it became a museum of atheism; today it is a Catholic church again. It stands on Didžioji Street, right in the old town.
