It’s time to see the Historical Presidential Palace of the Republic of Lithuania with different eyes.

The palace has witnessed many dramas – ups, downs and wars – of Kaunas and the whole of Lithuania over nearly two hundred years. It is the crossroad of all our history, keeping its secrets in the shade of the garden.
