Getting there by bus from Riga, Liepaja, Kaliningrad, Vilnius and Kaunas by train from Vilnius and Šiauliai, by plain via Palanga International Airport. By ferry from Germany, Sweden, Denmark Lithuania s third largest city is located on the narrow strait linking the Curonian Lagoon to the Baltic Sea, and is vital to Lithuania s economy as the country s main seaport. As a gateway to a series of breathtakingly beautiful sand dunes and quaint fishing villages, Klaipėda is generally used as a launch pad rather than a final destination. From Klaipėda it s easy to reach the small fishing villages of Nida and Juodkrantė on the Curonian Spit (Kuršių Nerija), or Palanga, a summer resort town to the north. Archaeological evidence reveals that the Balts at one time densely populated the area. From the 9th century onwards, Vikings from the north perpetually raided these lands. From the XIII century, the site suffered invasions by German feudal lords and the Teutonic Order. After erecting the castle of Memelburg, they used it to control the strait between the mainland and the Curonian Spit. In some years the soon developed town of Memel (as Klaipėda was once known) was granted similar rights to the Hanseatic towns of Dortmund (1254) and Lubeck (1258). In 1923, the Lithuanian government seized control of the Klaipėda region from the French, and the region was soon recognised as a part of Lithuania. Klaipėda has developed into a modern city, with a peculiar Germanic Old Town.

The first documentary reference of the battle in the Sun (Šiauliai) land that took place on 22 September 1236 was made in the Livonian chronicles. That date is considered to be the date of establishment of the city. Other version: the present city name is traced to the word šaulys (the shot). People say that in the old days, the surrounding woods were abundant with wild beasts and birds, therefore, the hunters and the shots settlement on the bank of the lake was called Šiauliai. During XVI-XVIII centuries Šiauliai was a centre of kings manors complex, i.e. centre of economy.

The architectural complex of the Cathedral consists of the Cathedral itself and a churchyard fence with a gate. The construction of Sts. & Apostles Peter and Paul s Church began in 1594 on the site of a decayed wooden church. The cathedral was called The most marvelous in all land by the famous bishop Motiejus Valančius. The building was erected in the Renaissance style, with quite a few features typical of mediaeval architecture. In 1997 the church granted the status of a cathedral. There are a number of stories telling why the Cathedral built at this place, and not somewhere else. A legend has it that upon a time a huge ox wandered to Šiauliai, lay down to rest and passed away in its sleep. As the time passed, the wind covered the dead ox with dust and sand, and thus a small hill occurred. It is that hill St. Apostles Peter and Paul s Cathedral stands on today. The Sundial Square Ežero St.Šalkauskio crossing, Šiauliai An extraordinary anniversary of the city s foundation, its 750th jubilee, prompted that the date be marked in a unique and appropriate manner.

Sun Dial Square embodies the tree symbols related to the origins of the city, its history and name: the sun symbolizes the battle of Saulė, which was fought in the vicinity of Šiauliai, while the archer is related to the origin of the city s name. A legend tells us that the name of Šiauliai originated from the word šaulys meaning an archer. The symbols of the sun and the archer unite the third one, the time. Hourcounting digits, 12, 3 and 6, cast into the square floor. The sequence of the digits forms the figure 1236, i.e. the year when the name of Šiauliai mentioned for the first time.
