"Wilno (Vilnius)is the capital of the present day Lithuania and one of
the country's oldest cities. It stretches along both banks of the fast
flowing Neris River, and is set among hills pine forests.
Wilno(Vilnius) is very old city. The honour for founding Wilno is
justly given to Gediminas (Lithuanian Duke) in 1323. Having declared
Wilno his "Royal Town", Gediminas created the conditions for its
subsequent growth as well as the political, economical and cultural
center of Lithuania."
