Create an itinerary including Vilniaus staciatikiu Sventosios Dvasios vienuolynas

Lithuania's most important Russian Orthodox church, the Baroque-styled Vilniaus staciatikiu Sventosios Dvasios vienuolynas sports a richly colored interior and the remains of three Orthodox saints. There has been a church here since 1567, but a series of events lead to the site's reconstruction in the mid-18th century. Inside, you can admire the detailed stucco work, sculptures, frescoes, and emerald green iconostasis. A reliquary in the center of the building is home to the remains of St. Anthony, St. Eustatius, and St. John, adorned with red robes on special occasions. Women attending a service may wish to bring a scarf to cover their head, as is customary. For travelers who use our international travel planner, Vilnius holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Vilniaus staciatikiu Sventosios Dvasios vienuolynas and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

The altar was unusual but quite nice and the interior a bit dark giving it a sense of calm (what you want in a church). I like it and was happy to see it differentiated from the other churches.

I really love this place, monks there are very kind. The church is very specific becouse of its history it looks much more like catholic church than orthodox church. There are reliques of 3 holy martyrs of Vilnius. Its is also located in the city center so its very convenient for everyone to come there. All around there is much more monuments to see too so i highly recommend
