The present church, the Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was constructed and furnished in the third quarter of the XVIII century. The building is one of the finest examples of late Baroque architecture in Lithuania. The interior, designed by the gifted Lithuanian artist, Thomas Podgaiskis, has been preserved without significant changes for over two centuries.

We went into the entrance off the street and walked up the stairs, not realizing what we would see. We entered a small room where the picture is and quite a number of people were on their knees praying to the Blessed Virgin. It is something to see it from the street, but do go inside to get the full experience.

This church is known by many names in english. Here are the ones I know: The Church and Monastery of St.Francis of Assisi (Bernardine), The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard, Bernardine Church, St. Francis of Assisi (Bernardine) Roman Catholic Church. In Lithuanian, it´s called BERNARDINŲ BAŽNYČIA. The interior can be described as old, beautiful and humble. The church is situated right behind St. Anne´s Church.

Entrance to the church is just a door from the Domininkonu street. When entering, one has to pass dark, somewhat scary, cavern-like corridor with first welcoming picture that of death. Then you enter the stunningly rich Baroque interior of the church: as it was comparatively less damaged since its last restoration in the seventies of the 18th century, a lot of original interiors were preserved. Close to the church are the buildings of old Dominincan monastery which are in a very sad state of disrepair. The church itself holds very curious secrets: in its crypts there are well-preserved mummified remains of Vilnius citizens that lived 3-4 centuries ago. However, they are not accessible to the visitors. Note, however, that Church of the Holy Spirit is an object of some confusion. The Church is catholic (Dominincan) and is situated at the Donininkonų Street. There is an Orthodox church going under the same name, situated close the Gates of Dawn. So they are two different churches. Yes, I know – there are MANY churches in Vilnius…
10. Church Of St Peter And St Paul

The exterior of this church stands out for its architecture. Reminiscent of Italianate design, Sts Peter and Paul has high towers, is sandy yellow and is trimmed in white; while maroon tile roofing completes the picture. As striking as its exterior is, it's the interior that grabbed my attention. This church is gleaming white inside; there is stucco and marble everywhere you look. Sculptures, paintings, and frescoes adorn the 13 chapels, high ceilings, nave and altar area. Pretty overwhelming.
