Fodor's Expert Review Vilniaus Universiteto

Founded by the Jesuits in 1570, the university campus is comprised of a complex of 12 courtyards. Highlights include the observatory, with its 18th-century zodiac engravings (note that it is not open to the public), and the church of St. Johns. Originally a Gothic Church begun in 1387, St. Johns and its striking Vilnius baroque-style facade are a part of the university compound. It is also a perfect stage for "Alma Mater Musicalis" concerts and organ recitals.
