Three Crosses

Three Crosses is a prominent monument in Vilnius, Lithuania, on the Hill of Three Crosses, also known as the Bald Hill or Crooked Hill, in Kalnai Park. According to a legend, which finds its source in some historic events, seven Franciscan friars were beheaded on top of this hill. Wooden crosses have been sited in the location since the early 17th century, and they became a symbol of the city and an integral part of the city's skyline.
