The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania sits in the lower castle area of Vilnius, recognizable by its four wings arranged around a central courtyard. This site functioned as the political, administrative, and cultural hub of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. Rulers like Gediminas and Sigismund Augustus once governed the vast state from this location, hosting ambassadors and staging ceremonies within its walls.
