The Cathedral of Vilnius, Lithuania - 17th January, 2013

The Cathedral of Vilnius is the main Roman Catholic Cathedral of Lithuania. It is situated in Vilnius Old Town, just off of Cathedral Square. It is the heart of Lithuania's Catholic spiritual life.

The heart of Polish-Lithuanian king Władysław IV Vasa was buried there upon his death while his body is buried at the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków. Inside, there are more than forty works of art dating from the 16th through 19th centuries; including frescoes and paintings of various sizes.

The Cathedral and the belfry were thoroughly renovated from 2006 to 2008. The facades have been covered with fresh multicolor paintwork, greatly enhancing the external appearance of the buildings and their elements which had not been renovated since the Restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1990.

This video features both external and internal views of the cathedral, with a particular focus on the building's architecture and decor, including statues, paintings and sculptures.
