The first brick castle was built in this place at the end of the 13th-early 14th century, when Vilnius became the capital of Lithuania. In the first half of the 14th century, during the reign of the last rulers of the Gediminid-Jagiellon dynasty, Italian masters rebuilt the Gothic castle into a Renaissance palace. In the early 17th century, rulers of the Vasa dynasty reconstructed this palace in an Early Baroque style under the command of the Italian masters, who had worked in Rome. In the 16th-early 17th century, the palace was a political, diplomatic and cultural centre throughout the entire European region. During the war against Moscow of the mid-17th century, the palace was plundered and could no longer be used as a ruler's residence. At the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, the tsarist Russian administration leveled the palace to the ground as a symbol of the Lithuanian state. Archeological and other research was conducted in the palace territory in 1987-2018, while the building itself was reconstructed and adapted for museum and cultural activities and for state representational purposes.
