القلاع والأبراج في ليتوانيا

Lithuanian Fortifications and Towers

Lithuania's landscape is dotted with defensive structures spanning centuries, from medieval brick castles like Kaunas and Medininkai to ancient hillforts that once served as pagan strongholds. This collection features archaeological sites such as the Birutė Hill in Palanga and the Maišiagalos hillfort, alongside modern observation towers in Mindūnai and Salakas that provide panoramic views of the country's lakes and forests. Many of these sites, like Panemunė Castle, highlight the architectural transition from defensive fortresses to residential manors.
