Church of the Assumption [Šv. Mergelės Marijos Dangun Ėmimo Bažnyčia]

This grand, neo-Gothic beauty between the bus station and Basanavičiaus was built between 1897 and 1906 to a design by the Swedish architect K. Strandman. The dark interior offers a welcome and distinctly cool break from the madness outside, with the altars made from scores of little silver arms and legs being of particular interest. At 76m, the imposing spire can be seen from just about anywhere in town. Across the street and just to the left is a WWII Red Army war memorial complete with one of the few remaining hammer and sickles in the country.
