Vilnius was the political center of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the 13th century to the end of the 18th century, and had a profound influence on the cultural and architectural development of much of Eastern Europe. Despite invasions and partial destruction, Vilnius has preserved an impressive collection of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical buildings, as well as its medieval layout and natural environment.
