Commonly known as the garrison church, this Neo-Byzantine-style building was designed and built by order of Russian Tsar Alexander III in the late 19th century. Located at the eastern end of the main pedestrian street Laisves aleja, it is one of the most impressive landmarks of the city, and a lot more than a Roman Catholic church: the catacombs underneath are home to the Museum for the Blind, where there is not much to see—but a lot to experience!

Bali is dotted with temples—some perched on cliffs, others floating on lakes, or tucked deep in the jungle. These sacred sites aren’t just places of worship; they’re woven into daily life, rich in tradition, ceremony, and stunning scenery. Here's a list of the temples worth visiting in Bali, whether you're after spiritual insight or just an unforgettable view. 1. Tirta Empul Temple Visit Tirta Empul to see the holy spring where locals come for purification rituals. It’s a chance to witness—or join—a unique Balinese tradition centred around water. 2. Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) Perched high on a sea cliff, Uluwatu offers some of the best sunset views on the island. Stick around for a proper local experience, the Kecak dance at dusk. 3. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple Float over to Ulun Danu Beratan, a serene temple sitting on Lake Beratan. It’s dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, and the cool mountain air adds to the peaceful vibe. 4. Goa Gajah Temple (Elephant Cave) Step into Goa Gajah for its mysterious cave entrance and detailed stone carvings. The nearby ancient bathing pools make it clear this spot was important centuries ago. 5. Saraswati Temple (Pura Taman Saraswati) Dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and arts, swing by Saraswati Temple in Ubud to see the pretty lotus ponds and elegant carvings. 6. Tanah Lot Head to Tanah Lot for one of Bali’s most famous sea temples. Sitting on a rocky outcrop in the ocean, it’s especially popular at sunset. 7. Besakih Great Temple (Pura Besakih) Known as Bali’s Mother Temple, Besakih is situated on the slopes of Mount Agung and comprises over 80 smaller temples. It’s a sprawling complex that feels like the spiritual heart of the island. 8. Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple Check out Lempuyang for the 'Gates of Heaven' photo spot, with Mount Agung framing the background. The hike up requires some effort, but the views make it worthwhile.

St Peter & Paul's is the largest Gothic structure in Lithuania, and the country’s only Gothic church with a basilica floor-plan as opposed to the usual cross-shaped design. Its one-of-a-kind interior, with its nine altars, is also breathtaking. During its history, it was rebuilt several times, which has given the building an eclectic look, with some Renaissance features included.
