Lithuanians are the last pagans on this continent. Paganism began to disappear in Lithuania at the end of the 14th century when Lithuania’s rulers accepted Christianity. The Baltic tribe Samogitians held on the longest – they only converted in the 15th century. Nowadays you can find Lithuanian sacral places in the pilgrimage routs.
A private tour of religious sites with an expert guide will make the most memorable day and you will enjoy the blend of traditional and modern sights.

The Hill of Crosses is a unique and moving experience and a testament of faith and resilience of the Lithuanian people. I would definitely recommend visiting the site. It is hard to describe the amount of crosses at the site.
