  • Pilies Street in Medieval Vilnius 3 4 Pilies Street Is One of the Oldest in the City of Vilnius, the Capital of the 5 Grand Duchy of Lithuania
    2021-4367-HIS 1 Between Greeks and Latins: 2 Pilies Street in Medieval Vilnius 3 4 Pilies Street is one of the oldest in the city of Vilnius, the capital of the 5 Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The street’s name is connected with its starting 6 point, the territory of the castles of the grand dukes. In the early 15th century, 7 Vilnius City Hall was erected at the south end of Pilies Street. Pilies Street is 8 not only an inseparable part of the city’s earliest spatial structure, but is 9 also directly connected with the Christian communities of Vilnius, when it 10 was still a pagan city. During the earliest period of the city’s development 11 Christian immigrants, both Orthodox and Catholic, gathered around Pilies 12 Street. The paradox is that very little information is available about the 13 emergence and formation of the central street of the city. The purpose of this 14 paper is to examine more carefully the early history of what is perhaps the 15 main street in Vilnius and the changes over the course of time. This becomes 16 possible after combining archaeological material with the sparse 17 information from written sources, and also after making use of data from the 18 investigation of the historical natural environment. 19 20 Keywords: Middle Ages, Pagans, Orthodox, Catholics, urban topography 21 22 23 Introduction 24 25 Pilies (Castle) Street (Fig. 1, red line) is one of the oldest arteries in the 26 city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.
