Christ's Resurrection Basilica
Kauno Kristaus Prisikėlimo bazilika
A white, monumental church in interwar modernist style. Take the elevator to the rooftop terrace for a 360-degree view over all of Kaunas.
Located on Žaliakalnis Hill, it was begun in the 1930s as a symbol of national gratitude. During the Soviet period it was converted into a radio factory and was not restored and completed until the 1990s. Its pure white, squared modernist form and 70-meter tower make it a representative example of the “Architecture of Optimism” World Heritage Site. For a fee, you can take an elevator to the rooftop terrace for a 360-degree view over the New Town, the Old Town and the river valley, making it Kaunas’s best viewpoint. You can ride the Žaliakalnis Funicular up the hill from Laisvės alėja.
Opening hours
Terrace approx. 11:00–18:00 (closed Mondays)
