LOL, you were at Užupis today? So I wonder why didn't we meet each other? :D I'll post some of my pics later in this thread, if you don't mind, of course :)

Btw, pics are great :cheers:

Thanks for the pics. Uzupis is my favorite part of Vilnius :okay:

Thanks for the fresh photos of Užupis and especially for St. Ann's church.

Wow, didn't know Vilnius had its own artist district. Kewl! What does the constitution of Uzupis say?

A to , moi drodzy był dom (dokładnie na wprost kolumny z Aniołem ), gdzie urodził się i mieszkał w młodych latach nasz śpiewak operowy Bernard Ładysz. Budynek stał jeszcze w 1998 roku. Do niedawna znakomitą większość mieszkańców Zarzecza (Użupis) stanowili Polacy. Dziś to dzielnica artystyczna - piękna i modna nadzwyczaj, położona wzdłuż dawnego Traktu Połockiego. Wyremontowano ją znakomicie, ale skrzętnie pozacierano ślady dawnych szyldów i napisów na budynkach, niekiedy pamiętających jeszcze carskie czasy - dwujęzyczne szyldy po rosyjsku i.... francusku, bo polszczyzny tam używać nie było wolno, a po litewsku nie było komu gadać..., i tak na robotniczym przedmieściu były francuskie szyldy: "patiserie", "boucher".... , czysta aberracja. A miejsce magiczne - jak tam będziecie - koniecznie, bo warto! A koniecznie zajdźcie na tamtejszy Cmentarz Bernardyński - mniej znany od Rossy, ale równie piękny i pełen pamiątek po wygnanych mieszkańcach miasta.
