Grand Duke Gediminas

Grand Duke GediminasUnveiled in September 1996, the monument to Gediminas (1275-1341), who famously founded Vilnius in 1323 and who was also Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1316 until his death, stands more or less on the spot where the howling iron wolf that inspired the moving of the country’s capital from Trakai allegedly appeared in his dream. Strangely, the aforementioned beast is represented in V. Kašuba’s creation not in metal as one would expect, but in stone.
