Dominican Church of the Holy Spirit
Built as a Gothic (Gothic style) church in 1408, it was given to the Dominicans in 1501, who built a monastery nearby. Destroyed by fires in the 17th - 18th centuries, the church was enlarged, lavishly decorating its interior. The Late Baroque style dominates in the architecture of the building. The monastery building obstructs the view of the main facade of the church. The gorgeous portal is the most distinctive feature of the side facade facing the street. It leads to a frescoed vestibule, which leads to the church and the monastery. The interior is lavishly decorated in the Rococo style. Among its sixteen altars, the central one is distinguished for its magnificent spatial composition. The 18th century organ is one of the oldest in Lithuania. On 5 September 1993, Pope John Paul II met with Polish believers in this church.
