Artistically sculpted monument memorializing the nearly 100 Lithuanian soldiers who died in Afghanistan fighting the Soviet Union's war. These poor souls died far from home fighting another countries war. Long ignored and forgotten by society, this monument is a small token of memorial and appreciation of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Next in line should be the other 1,000 veterans who came home to get proper pensions, recognition and care.

Uzupis Cat is a playful sculpture balanced on a fence outside the v2o jewelry gallery, the only cat in Vilnius with an earring by the way. Find the magic words engraved on its body and walk away with no fear of living. 'Touch my ear - have no fear', it says - no fear to help, to reach for something you desire, to let go, to dream, to love, to forgive. Scratch his ear and believe.

This little art piece is so funny with all the details, you just cant pass it without touching the ear. Also loved that bent fence under his paw!

Reviewed By LMilich
The Hill of Angels is probably the most interesting site in Trakai, more so than the castle imho, for insight into contemporary Lithuanian culture. You have to go with a native speaker, and someone familiar with the icons that are intended by these totems. An unguided visit would not be very worthwhile...
10. Vytautas the Great Monument
