Hill of Three Crosses, Vilnius, Lithuania

On the hill stand three white crosses, each 12 meters tall. This place is a symbol of Lithuania’s national identity and commemorates tragic events from the 14th century, when, according to legend, seven Franciscans were murdered here by pagan inhabitants. Four of them were thrown into the nearby Wilenka River, and three crosses with the bodies of the martyrs were placed on the hill.

The first wooden crosses were erected between 1613 and 1636, and the existing concrete monument was created in 1916 based on a design by Antoni Wiwulski. The monument was destroyed by Soviet authorities in 1950 and later rebuilt in 1989, shortly before Lithuania regained its independence.

From the Hill of Three Crosses, there is a beautiful view of Vilnius’ Old Town, and the hill itself is a popular walking spot and an important historical and cultural symbol of Vilnius.

Monument to Nicolaus Copernicus, Olsztyn, Poland

Nicolaus Copernicus was the administrator of the common property of the Warmia cathedral chapter. He resided in Olsztyn castle twice. The first time was when he served a three-year term as administrator, from November 8, 1516 to November 9, 1519. The second period of Copernicus’ stay in Olsztyn was connected with the last war with the Teutonic Order. After the plunder of Frombork by the Teutonic Knights, Copernicus sought refuge in Olsztyn castle, and then administered the chapter’s property from January 23, 1520 to the end of October 1521. The administrator in these areas managed the land, exercised judicial power and was responsible for tax matters.

Within the walls of Olsztyn castle, Copernicus wrote the text of the first book of “De revolutionibus…” - the work of his life, which “stopped the Sun and pushed the Earth from its foundations”.
