Church of St. Casimir
Baroque came to Vilnius directly from Rome, bringing the eminence of Casimir (Casimir Jagiellon) back from its grave. The pope finally sanctified local worship of Casimir with a declaration of sainthood in 1602. Two years later (1604), Jesuits laid the foundation stone - a massive boulder brought to the city by a procession of seven hundred people - for the Saint Casimir Church in Vilnius. Modeled on the 'Il Gesù' in Rome, the church was one of the first baroque edifices erected outside Italy.
