Completed at the start of the 17th century and receiving little in the way of changes over the centuries despite the devastation reaped on the city around it, the glorious Renaissance-style Sts. Peter and Paul’s Cathedral is without doubt the most famous landmark in Šiauliai. A gleaming white masterpiece with a red-topped single steeple towering over the city skyline, the plain white interior is notable for its simple design, the addition of three vast golden chandeliers and the Stations of the Cross scattered around the walls being the most outstanding features. A wooden cross outside commemorates a former wooden church built on the site. The Cathedral was visited by the late Pope John Paul II on May 28, 1997, the day of the establishment of the diocese of Šiauliai.
