The Hill of Crosses / Lithuania












The Hill of Crosses, Kryzių Kalnas, located 12 kilometers north of the small industrial city of Siauliai. 4 hours by bus from Vilinius. There is a symbol of Lithuanian defiance of foreign invaders. Standing upon a small hill are many hundreds of thousands of crosses that represent Christian devotion and a memorial to Lithuanian national identity. Their number & the variety of crosses are amazing
