Vilnius is also often referred to as the baroque capital of Lithuania and a walk through the old town confirms this. Many baroque buildings are reminiscent of times gone by and on the baroque steeple of the St.Johanniskirche, which completes the architectural ensemble of the university and St. Johanniskirche, you go up to a viewing platform. From here you have beautiful views of Vilnius and its surroundings. There is another attraction in the tower: a Foucault pendulum proves (for all those who have some time with them) that the earth rotates.
