Nobody can verify whether it was this dream wolf that encouraged the Grand Duke to found the city of Vilnius, but the proof that he invited merchants, soldiers, craftspeople and priests from all over Europe to the city is irrefutable. Our Latvian neighbours preserved his letter in Latin of — the first written source in which the name of Vilnius is spelled out in black and white. Customs did not change much as time went by, and the historical centre of Vilnius also changed little.
Our capital city has always been at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. Narrow streets in the Old Town and spacious, open squares provide evidence that Vilnius was never inclined to shake off the influence of alien cultures.
