Location:
The complex of university buildings extends over a whole block of the Old Town in Vilnius, Lithuania. Its original architecture attracts the visitor's attention. The construction of the university buildings was carried on over the centuries under the changing influences of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical styles. The campus began to take shape in about 1570 in a city quarter belonging to the Bishop of Vilnius. By that time, the area had already been built up with brick houses. It later gradually expanded to the east and to the north, towards St. John's church. Bounded by four streets , the campus is composed of 12 buildings, some of them having multiple structures, the Church of St. John, and the belfry. The buildings are arranged around 13 courtyards of different shape and size. At present the Rector's Office, the Library, the Faculties of Philology, Philosophy, and History, as well as some interdisciplinary centers are situated in the Old Town.The University of Vilnius, one of the oldest and most famous establishments of higher education in Eastern and Central Europe, was founded in 1579. Functioning for a long time as the only school of higher learning in Lithuania, it was a preserver of cultural and scientific traditions, and has played a significant part in the cultural life not only of Lithuania, but the neighboring countries as well. During more than four centuries of its existence, the University of Vilnius has seen periods of growth and decline, revival, and closure. The University is a unique witness to the history of the Lithuanian state.
