The Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus and St Ladislaus of Vilnius[a], also known as Vilnius Cathedral is the main Catholic cathedral in Lithuania.[2] It is situated in Vilnius Old Town, just off Cathedral Square.[2] Dedicated to the Christian saints Stanislaus and Ladislaus, the church is the heart of Catholic spiritual life in Lithuania.[2]
The cathedral was previously used for the inauguration ceremonies of Lithuanian monarchs with Gediminas' Cap, while in modern times it is a venue for masses dedicated to the elected Presidents of Lithuania after their inauguration ceremonies and giving of oaths to the Nation in the Seimas Palace.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
