Tourism Manual
A Word of Welcome
Vilnius is truly a city unlike any other. Once
experienced, its unique charm and beauty can
never be forgotten. Countless people have
fallen in love with it over the years, but no one
can fully capture its magical essence in words,
not even poets or guidebook writers.
The best way to get to know Vilnius is to stroll
around it at leisure and experience it in all its
sensual glory. Enjoy a coffee at any one of
the numerous outdoor café tables and see
how serene the locals look as they go about
their daily lives. Dine out at one of the city’s
many excellent restaurants and marvel at the
excellence and diversity of the culinary
scene. Enjoy a night out on the town and revel
in the goodwill and openness of Vilnius’s funloving population.
Vilnius is a superb example of how history and
modernity can harmoniously coexist. The Old
Town and surrounding city centre are a perfectly preserved mosaic of historic architectural styles, while just across the peacefully
flowing River Neris a sleek new skyline testifies to Vilnius’s dynamic entrepreneurial spirit.
Perhaps it’s because of Lithuania’s official
status as the geographical centre of Europe,
but few European capitals are as at ease with
themselves as Vilnius. It’s a quintessentially
European city which abounds with picturesque streets and spectacular churches. It
teems with wonderful museums and art galleries. It pulsates with cutting-edge cultural
events and nightlife. It has something for
everyone, from old-fashioned romantics to
discerning businessmen, from party-loving
hedonists to high-minded culture buffs.
And if you manage to tear your gaze away
from the abundance of beautiful buildings
and beguiling shop window displays, you will
also notice how the entire city is ringed by
vast stretches of lush green foliage. Vilnius
is a delightfully green city that boasts many
beautiful parks and countless quaint, treelined streets. It’s quite simply the perfect city
for a meandering walk or a leisurely bike ride.
Vilnius has a proud historical heritage which
is there for ever-growing numbers of visitors
to enjoy. The Vilnius Tourism Manual 2011
contains everything you need to know to make
your stay as pleasurable, convenient and safe
as possible. You may find it difficult to put
Vilnius into words, but that’s love for you.

Vilnius is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, and it’s not hard to see why with
so many wonderful historic sights. The
city’s extraordinary appearance of historic continuity is all the more amazing when you consider its turbulent
history. But Vilnius is now back where
it rightly belongs – at the heart of Europe – and this most quintessentially
European of cities has quickly gained
a reputation as being a most charming, delightful and – it has to be said –
magical place. Come and see for
yourself!

Vilnius – beauty, mystery and magic
Southern architecture
under the Northern Sky
Czesùaw Miùosz, the Noble Prize-winning
Polish author, once said of Vilnius: “Narrow
cobblestone streets and an orgy of Baroque:
almost like a Jesuit city somewhere in the
middle of Latin America.”
Vilnius is unique for being both the northernmost Baroque city in the world and for having one of the largest historic centres in Eastern Europe. It was rightfully declared a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 which
enabled a much-needed programme of
renovation to take place so that the city could
be fully restored to its former glory.
It is little wonder that Vilnius has become
such a popular tourist destination in recent
years for the simple reason that few people
can resist its magical charms. Large enough
to explore for weeks on end, but small
enough not to get permanently lost in, Vilnius
is an architectural dream come true, a city
soaked in atmosphere, and alive with history.
Vilnius’s skyline is an elegant timeline of gables and spires, domes and belfries. Its mazy
cobblestone streets and alleyways contain
countless hidden, picturesque courtyards
whose residents surely count their blessings
every day as they gaze out of their windows.
But despite its reputation as a Baroque city,
Vilnius is rich in other architectural forms.
There are some stunning examples of classicism, eclecticism, brick gothic and art
nouveau in the city centre, especially along
the showcase Gedimino Avenue. The city
abounds with quirky architectural flourishes,
from mysterious masks to mischievous gargoyles. Quite simply, you just can’t take your
eyes off the place!
Most of the buildings in Vilnius date from the
periods immediately after the great fires of
1610, 1737, 1748 and 1749, when the city’s
wooden buildings were done away with.
Amazingly, however, the Old Town’s street
structure is virtually unchanged since medieval times.
The best way to see Vilnius is on foot (just
follow the cobblestone road). But the city is
also a dream for cyclists with clearly-marked
cycle lanes covering virtually the entire city
centre, and bringing all the city’s sights within
easy reach.
There is, of course, much more to Vilnius than
the Old Town. The city centre is filled with
beautiful parks, and majestic buildings standing proudly atop steep, hilly streets. It’s also
a delight to walk along the banks of the river
Neris as it serenely snakes its way through
the city centre. The riverside path offers
spectacular views of the Old Town on one
side, and the imposing skyscrapers of the
New District on the other.
No visit to Vilnius is complete without a visit
to the self-declared Republic of Uþupis, just
across the sparkling river Vilnia, and behind
the spectacular red Gothic façade of St.
Anne’s Church. Just be sure not to miss the
prominently displayed constitution (it’s in
Lithuanian, French and English) which states,
among other things, that: “Every dog has the
right to be a dog.”
Other places of special interest include
Vilnius University, the Hill of Three Crosses,
the Gates of Dawn, the Presidential Palace,
the Town Hall, Ponar Memorial, Kalvariijø
market, not to mention countless other museums, galleries, churches and statues. Just
one thing is certain when it comes to Vilnius:
one visit is never enough.

Tourism Manual 2012
Old Town and New City
Years ago
7th – 2nd century BC – The first Baltic tribes
establish themselves on the territory of
present-day Lithuania.
1009 – Lithuania is first mentioned in a written text when the Kvedlinburgh Chronicle
states that Archbishop Brunonus was hit over
the head by pagans in Lituae and went to
heaven.
1236 – Duke Mindaugas unites local chieftains to defeat the Livonian knights at the
Battle of Saulë, thereby establishing the state
of Lithuania.
1253 – Duke Mindaugas is crowned Lithuania’s first king on July 6. This day is now cel-
ebrated as the Day of Lithuanian Statehood.
1323 – Vilnius is first mentioned as the
capital of Lithuania when Grand Duke
Gediminas officially invites Western European merchants and craftsmen to settle
in the city.
1387 – An alliance between Lithuania and
Poland is formed after Grand Duke Jogaila
marries Polish Princess Jadwiga. Vilnius is
granted municipal rights. Lithuania is the last
pagan state to convert to Christianity.
1410 – The Lithuanian army, led by cousins
King Jogaila and Grand Duke Vytautas,
achieve a resounding victory against
the Teutonic knights in the historic battle of
Grünwald (also known as Tannenberg and
Þalgiris).
12
1495 – The first goldsmith and sewing craft
guilds are established. Vilnius flourishes as
a major Eastern European trading and cultural centre.
1522 – Pranciðkus Skoryna establishes the
first printing house in Vilnius. The city becomes one of the great book printing centres of Europe. Vilnius also flourishes as a
city of merchants and craftsmen.
1569 – The Lubin Union, which results in the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, leads to
a loss of status for Vilnius. Polish becomes
the state language.
1579 – Vilnius University is founded by Jesuits. It becomes the most important cultural
centre in the region.
1795 – Following the third partition of the
Lithuanian-Polish state, Lithuania is annexed
to Russia. Vilnius is plundered.
1831 – A rebellion against Russian rule fails
resulting in the closure of Vilnius University,
the conversion of Catholic churches to Orthodox churches, and the enforced use of
Russian in Lithuanian schools.
1834 – A telegraph line linking St. Petersburg,
Vilnius and Warsaw is built.
1864–1904 – Another failed uprising against
Russian rule leads to even harsher oppression and more stringent Russification policies.
1918 – Lithuania declares independence on
February 16.
1920 – Poland annexes Vilnius. The Lithuanian capital is transferred to Kaunas.
1939 – Lithuanian independence comes to
an end with the secret signing of the Molotov-Ribbentropp pact which carves up Europe into Nazi and Soviet control. The USSR
restores Vilnius as capital and establishes
military bases there before annexing all of
Lithuania.
1990 – The Supreme Council announces the
restoration of Lithuanian independence on
March 11.
2004 – Lithuanian becomes a member of
NATO and the EU.
2009 – Lithuania celebrates the anniversary
of the first written mention of its name, and
the capital Vilnius takes on the year-long
mantle of “European Capital of Culture”.
And now
Vilnius is a fascinating mix of tradition and
innovation. Its entire Old Town is a UNESCO
World Heritage site thanks to the city’s abundance of beautifully preserved historic architecture. But Vilnius is also a place of elegant
skyscrapers, state-of-the-art business centres and gleaming new sports and entertainment complexes.
Few European capitals enjoy such harmony.
While the Old Town is an elegant cityscape
of red russet-tiled rooftops and baroque
spires, the business district just across the
river Neris boasts the most impressive ensemble of modern architecture in the Baltic
States.
The Lithuanian capital is a cosmopolitan
place where one can hear Lithuanian,
VILNIUS
Tourism Manual 2012
Russian, Polish, English and many other European languages on the street and in bars
and restaurants. Yet, as with its architecture,
Vilnius enjoys an amazing degree of harmony
in both its cultural and social life.
Thanks to the city’s history, the people
of Vilnius have inherited a tolerant and
laidback attitude. They like a good time,
which is why the Old Town is always alive
with the sound of music, laughter and animated conversation.
It’s this harmonious combination of old and
new, tradition and modernity, which makes
Vilnius such a remarkable place.
Vilnius feels like a small town because its
streets are so beautifully spread out, but it is
also a modern metropolis. The main shopping and business districts offer free Wi-Fi
access so don’t be surprised to see someone checking their email in the shadow of a
17th-century building. A Lithuanian taxi company was the first in Europe to install multimedia consoles in its cars, so you can even
surf the web on your way from the airport to
the hotel. As you see, Vilnius comes with all
possible mod cons.
There is no shortage of things to do in
Vilnius. From massive shopping centres to
charming little boutiques, there is something
for even the most insatiable shopoholic. As
for the more culturally-minded, there is an
enormous array of wonderful art galleries
and fascinating specialty museums. Concerts are also hugely popular with musicloving Lithuanians, from big-name pop acts,
to top-quality classic performances, to
charming folk music recitals, to jovial jazz
jams.
Vilnius’ nightlife is renowned for its heady
blend of relaxed pubs, trendy bars and highenergy night clubs. If sports is more your
thing, however, you could take a jet flight, go
canoeing or even take a hot air balloon ride
over the city.
From exploring the hidden courtyards of
the Old Town, to dining in one of the city’s
numerous top-class restaurants, your only
problem will be how to fit so much into
your time.
Did you know that...?
…Airplanes have been known to zoom under bridges in Vilnius. The world-famous
pilot Jurgis Kairys made history when he
flew upside down under a bridge. On another occasion, he audaciously flew under 10 bridges in a row.
….The French National Institute of Geography has established that the geographical centre of Europe is 24km from Vilnius.
The European Park of Sculptures (19km
from Vilnius) is filled with interesting sculptures by a range of international artists reflecting on the area’s special significance.
….A monument to the famous American
singer, guitarist and composer Frank
Zappa was erected in 1995 – the first one
in the world. Many a devoted Zappa fan
has visited Vilnius solely for this reason. A
copy of the monument was given as a
present to Zappa‘s hometown of Baltimore.
…During the Soviet occupation people
were tortured in the underground chambers of the KGB’s headquarters. Former
inmates now act as guides and take visitors on a moving and unforgettable tour
to reveal a tragic part of Vilnius’ history.
…Standing 165 metres tall, the TV Tower
has the highest restaurant in Vilnius. Enjoy the amazing panoramic views over a
nice lunch or dinner. Or try a bungee jump
from the dizzy height of 280 metres. The
TV Tower is lit up for New Year’s Eve, making it one of the tallest “Christmas trees”
in Europe.
…Uþupis, sometimes known as the Montmartre of Vilnius, is one of the oldest and
most authentic parts of the city.
…Vilnius University, the oldest university in
Eastern Europe, was founded in 1579 and
has served as a centre of academic excellence ever since.

Dreaming of Spires
A hundred years ago it was said that no
matter where you looked in Vilnius, you could
always see at least four churches. Thankfully,
things haven’t changed.
The skyline is a breathtaking spectrum of
spires, domes and crosses and no trip to
Vilnius would be complete without a visit to
some of the city’s many extraordinary
churches.
The most famous church is the centrally located Cathedra Basillica. Originally built on
the site of a pagan temple in the 13th century, the structure dates in its current form
to the late 18th century and is a stunning example of classical architecture.
St. Anne’s, which dates back to the 16th century, is one of Vilnius’ best-loved churches.
It’s a superb example of Gothic architecture
which used thirty three different types of brick
in its construction. According to legend, Napoleon Bonaparte was so smitten by the
beauty of the building that he vowed to take

it to Paris in the palm of his hand.
The most spectacular church interior, however, surely belongs to Sts. Peter and Paul.
Supposedly built on the site of Milda, the
Lithuanian pagan goddess of love, the church
was commissioned by Michael Casimir Pac,
Grand Hetman of the Lithuanian army, in
1668. The stunning vaulted ceiling and dome
teems with some 2,000 beautifully crafted
stucco figures representing great mythological, biblical and battle scenes.
Of course, not all places of worship of Catholic, or Gothic, Baroque or classical in style.
There is the synagogue on Pylimo St. the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Old Town,
as well as a host of beautiful Russian Orthodox churches, the most impressive of which
is St. Michael. This jewel of a church combines Baroque, Gothic and Byzantine influences to spectacular effect. For those who
love churches and church architecture,
Vilnius is a treasure trove of delights.

Vilnius is easy to get to, however you decide to travel there. The small but cosy
Vilnius International Airport is situated a
mere 7km from the city centre. The port
city of Klaipeda is well-served by ferry,
and has excellent rail and bus connections with Vilnius. Distances between
places are generally small in Lithuania,
and it is relatively quick and straightforward to travel around by car, especially
between major towns and cities. The
roads in Lithuania are the best in the Baltic States and are all toll-free. Vilnius is
also a very convenient city to get around
thanks in part to its highly-developed
public transport system. Most of the main
attractions are concentrated in the city
centre and are within close proximity of
nearly all the major hotels.

4.2 City zones
0. Outside Vilnius
The territory outside the city; not
marked on the scheme.
1. Old Town
The very heart of the city. Pedestrian
streets, antique shops, many restaurants and hotels are situated here. Accommodation options vary from the
cheapest students’ style lodgings to the
best rated international chain hotels.
This zone also includes Uþupis, known
as Vilnius Monmartre.
2. Upper midtown
This area is spread out over both sides
of the river Neris and is bordered by two
major business areas. Gedimino
prospektas is a prestigious retail street
and the skyscrapers of Konstitucijos
prospektas form the new heart of the
city’s business district.
3. Lower midtown
Previously a residential area, the Lower
Midtown includes a business district,
residential flats and Vingis Park, a popular place with morning joggers and
venue for all sorts of major concerts.
4. Þvërynas
This attractive residential area is shaped
like a triangle and is well-known for its
tranquil atmosphere and attractive
houses. This prestigious district has
several hotels and family-run guest
houses.
5. Station district
After the renovation of the central station, this area has changed dramatically
and some excellent hotels now operate in the vicinity. It’s conveniently close
to both the main train and bus stations.
6. Airport
This is a good option for those only visiting Vilnius very briefly. The surroundings are pleasant, the city centre close
by and there are several good hotels
and restaurants.
7. Antakalnis
This suburb is relatively close to the city
centre and is surrounded by forests and
the river Neris but it only has a few accommodation options.
8. Residential area
Built during the Soviet era and filled with
characteristic block architecture, this
vast suburban area nonetheless boasts
several hotels ranging from economy
to high end.
9. Rasos and
Naujininkai
This area mainly consists of large apartment blocks and industrial premises.
There are some small new hotels and
decent restaurants in the vicinity.
10. Industrial district
There is one hotel, a few cafes and private rooms for rent in this somewhat
out-of-the-way location.

Art and culture has always been an
integral part of life in Vilnius. When the
Grand Duke Gediminas invited merchants, artisans and Jews and Christians alike to settle in Vilnius in 1323,
he laid the foundations for the city’s
multi-ethnic diversity, spirit of tolerance and open-mindedness. Ever
since then the arts have constantly
flourished and the city has a proud tradition of artistic excellence. Vilnius
boasts numerous museums and galleries. Its theatres are world-famous,
while its musicians and orchestras are
also internationally distinguished. Not
a day goes by in Vilnius without some
major festival, cultural event or concert taking place.

6.6.3 Trakai
Trakai is a small town in southeast Lithuania which is situated 27km from Vilnius. It is
built on a narrow peninsula dividing lakes
Galvë, Lake Totoriðkiai and Luka. These
lakes form part of an interconnected group
which consists of at least 30 large and small
lakes. Trakai itself is a genuinely archaic
town on water. It’s also a beautiful place for
leisure and relaxation. During the 13th century Trakai and its neighbouring environs
was the administrative centre of the country. According to the chronicles, Duke
Gediminas decided to build a castle there
after a successful hunt and the capital was
moved from Kernavë. The town was first
mentioned in a German text in 1377. Settlements quickly began to develop around

Trakai Castle was built in the 14th century
and is the only castle island in all of Eastern
Europe. The castle contains a historicallythemed museum and regularly hosts concerts and theatre festivals. Trakai is also of
special interest because 30 Karaim families live there. The families represent a Turkish ethnic group whose ancestors were invited to Lithuania by Vytautas, the Grand
Duke of Lithuania in the 14th century. The
Karaims guarded the castle of the Grand
Duke and were also the personal bodyguards of Vytautas himself. Their small community has preserved their religion, culture
and customs right up to the present day.
The Church of the Visitation of
the Virgin Mary
Sodø g. 8, LT–21106 Trakai
This parish church was built in 1409 under
the rule of Vytautas the Great. The main altar of the church contains an image of the
Virgin Mary and is said to have been a place
of miracles. There has been a festival dedicated to the Virgin Mary ever since 1603
which is attended by huge crowds of people who come from all around the country.
Karaims’ Settlement
Karaims’ Ethnographical exhibition
Karaimø g. 22, Trakai
Tel +370 528 55286
One of the most famous sights in Trakai is
Karaimø st. because its old buildings bear
witness to the extraordinary history of the
aforementioned Karaims. The Karaims built
their houses with three windows facing the
street, each one of which served a specific
purpose: one was for Duke Vytautas, one
was for God and one was for the Karaim
himself.

Kernavë – UNESCO World
Heritage Sight
Kernavë, which is situated close to Vilnius,
was the first capital of Lithuania. The first
settlement in the area appeared as early as
9000B.C when it is believed the settlers
came to the river Nëris from what is now
Kaunas in the southwest. Hunters, gatherers and fisherman gathered in temporary
encampments along the river. The museum
shows the history of Kernavë from prehistoric times through to the 18th century. There
is a chronological display of historic artefacts from the Stone Age, the Iron Age and
the early Middle Ages, as well as a map of
the archaeological reservation and photos
of archaeological digs, among many other
interesting items. Every year on July 6 (the
anniversary of the coronation of King
Mindaugas) the Kernavë Cultural Reserve
hosts an international festival of archaeology.
6.6.5 Sudervë
Stone sculpture park “Vilnoja”
Zdziechovskio g. 27, Sudervë, Vilniaus raj.
Website: www.stoneart.lt
The Stone Sculpture Park in the grounds of
the hotel Vilnoja was established in 2001
when eight famous Lithuanian sculptors
joined together and created the first strikingly original works. Lithuania has an outstanding tradition of sculpture which is amply demonstrated by these humorous, mysterious and thought-provoking pieces of art.
International stone sculpture symposiums
take place in the park every summer, while
a photo gallery of the sculptures is available on the park’s website.

Statues of Lenin, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky once
stood proudly in town hall squares, parks and
in front of train stations throughout Lithuania. Now these tired old sculptures have a
new home in Grûtas Park, along with numerous Soviet soldiers, kolkhozniks and other
members of the proletariat. Their picturesque
forest home is near the Lithuanian spa resort of Druskininkai and is surely the most
impressive ensemble of Soviet sculpture in
the world. It’s a fascinating experience and
valuable historic record of how the Soviet
authorities used sculpture as propaganda.
6.6.7 Rumðiðkës
The village of Rumðiðkës is situated 13km
east of Kaunas on the right side of the river
Nemunas. The fortress mounds and barrow
graves indicate that the site was inhabited
in ancient times. Numerous bronze artefacts
dating from the 13th – 16th century were discovered in the barrow graves during excavations carried out between 1953 and 1963.

7.7 Nature parks
For the active, nature-loving traveller, in the
outskirts of Vilnius or within some 100 km
radius, there are a few naturally charming
places to visit and explore: some for walking or biking, others for history and the mystical air of the past. Round off your journey
relaxing with a glass of beer amid hilly forests, green valleys and lakes, listening to
the birds and rivers.
For “how to get there” info (directions, transport, working hours and fees), contact the
Vilnius Tourist Information Centres.
Some parks are situated in the city and are
beloved by morning joggers or afternoon
walkers. These are Sereikiðkiø Park, Vingio
Park and Kalnø Park.

Verkiai Regional Parks

Website: www.pavilniai-verkiai.lt
(Ask for bicycle trips and walking tours)
Pavilniai Regional Park
Purpose of the park is to preserve heritage
of both nature and culture. One of the most
important peculiarities of the park is the
quite large differences of relative heights (up
to 100 m) and the incomparable variety of
their forms. The most attractive feature of
Pavilniai Park is suroundings of Pûèkoriai.
The unique geological site – the Pûèkoriai
rock exposure – is located here. This is one
of the highest and most impressive rock
exposures from the glacial Èpoque not only
in the Vilnia river valley but also in the entire
Lithuania. The rock exposures measure approximately 65 m in height, and 260 m in
width. One can enjoy the panorama of Vilnia
valley from the top of the rock. New pedestrian path leads to the remains of Pûèkoriai
cannon foundry and a water mill complex,
where the complex of restaurants and cafes Belmontas is located.
Another part of the park – the Markuèiai reserve – presents cultural and natural values.
There you will find a wooden house, the
former dwelling house of the estate, now
hosting the museum of Alexander Pushkin,
also a park with ponds, a family graveyard
and a Barbora chapel. Park’s hills covered
with old oaks forest render its originality,
whereas two ponds add liveliness.
Look for the Entertainment and recreation
centre Belmontas (restaurants, guest
rooms, swimming pool, sauna, and gala
room, open from 12 a.m. till 12 p.m.),

Verkiai Regional Park
Verkiai Regional Park consists of two quite
different parts of the landscape: the southern, where the values of cultural heritage
dominate, and the northern, where the values of the natural landscape are the most
important. The most valuable combinations
of the natural landscape are the system of
long, deep ravines of the Green lakes and
the valley of the unique two-way Rieðë–
Turniðkës rivulet which flows in the old dry
valley. The most important values of the
cultural heritage of Verkiai regional park are
the unique complex of Verkiai palace and
the Vilnius Kalvarijos (Stations of the Cross).
Architectural complex of Verkiai palace
which is properly fit into the natural environment with a nice park and the system of
ponds is one of the most valuable classicist
complexes in Lithuania. The park of Verkiai
estate farmstead is one of the most beautiful landscape-type parks in the country.
The complex of Kalvarijos–Trinapolis sacral
objects came into being in the 17th century.
Vilnius Kalvarijos consist of 35 station: 19
brick chapels, 7 wooden gates, 1 brick gate,
a wooden bridge – the chapel on the
Cedronas (Baltupys) river and the Church of
the Invention of the Cross (Kalvarijø). During the soviet time the object was destroyed
and now restored again.

The Neris Regional Park is, first of all, the
Neris with its picturesque vicinities, tiny villages and historical layers of old Lithuania.
The Park has been established in the most
beautiful segment of the Neris in order to
preserve the expressive landscape of the
river valley, the distinctive flora and fauna,
the unique system of the Neris midland turns
and natural tributaries as well as the cultural heritage. The Neris Regional Park is
situated in the triangle of Vilnius–Trakai–
Kernavë, which is very attractive to tourists
and connected by good country roads. The
exceptional position of the Park determines
the abundance of the objects of cultural
heritage. Along the banks of the river, the
high mounds, saint grove hills, centennial
oaks, old settlements and the abundance
of barrows reveal our ancestors’ times, the
pattern of their lives, customs and beliefs.
In the period of the establishment of the
Lithuanian State, these territories were a
centre of the unified Lithuanian lands and a
core of the establishing Lithuanian State.
The whole territory of the park, more than
10 000 ha, according to aesthetic, scientific, recreational or economic value, is divided into separate zones.
Some interesting facts:
• From the capital city of Vilnius to the park
it is only 25 km, to Kernavë – 9 km, to Trakai
- 24 km;
• In Karmazinai barrow yard, there are the
only 3 hand-made barrows in Lithuania,
which were restored after archaeological
