Pamiatky v Klaipėde

Editor's Choice

Klaipėda’s maritime character is defined by the UNESCO-listed Curonian Spit, a 98-kilometer sand-dune ridge separating the lagoon from the Baltic Sea. The city’s history is anchored by the 13th-century Klaipėda Castle ruins and the Meridianas, a 1940s sailing vessel converted into a museum and restaurant. Cultural landmarks include the Simon Dach memorial sculpture and the bronze Black Ghost statue near the castle. The Lithuanian Sea Museum, housed in a 19th-century fort, showcases the region's nautical heritage and marine biology.
