Further Distractions Frank Zappa Statue This unusual statue of the oddball American musician and alternative thinker is surely the only one of its kind in the world, revealing Vilnius’ playful side. Sculpted by a local artist, Konstantinas Bogdanas, in brass and unveiled in 1995. Kalinausko 1 Hill of Three Crosses The trio of crosses, which originally were placed here in the 17th century, marked the crucifixion of a group of monks. The crosses, both symbolic of faith and Lithuanian national identity, were destroyed by Stalin’s regime, but they were rebuilt in 1989 as the country approached independence. The views of the city are excellent and the walks back down the wooded slopes enjoyable. Kalnu Parkas |
