Representing Vilnius’s defensive walls that had nine entrance gates and was initially constructed in the 16th century, the Gate of Dawn is the only leftovers of this historic structure from the medieval times. The complex has extreme religious and cultural significance as it boasts the famous painting named “Vilnius Madonna” and thus the place is also known as the Chapel of Mary. The place is believed to have magical healing powers and is regularly visited by thousands of pilgrims.
