Šiauliai is the fourth-largest city in Lithuania, located in the northern part of the country. It is an important cultural, industrial, and educational hub.
I took an early morning bus from the Riga bus station and travelled to Siauliai. From the bus station, I took a round trip cab costing me 15 Euros to travel to the Hill of Crosses.
The Hill of Crosses is one of the most famous landmarks near Šiauliai is the Hill of Crosses, a site of pilgrimage for many people worldwide. The hill is covered with thousands of crosses, symbolizing Lithuanian religious and national identity. The Hill of Crosses was a symbol of resistance during Soviet times.
