Kaunas

Lithuania
Picture
Since the interwar period, Kaunas became a modern European city, vibrant with the urban network of modernist architecture. It was the golden age of Kaunas, the temporary capital of the brand new Republic of Lithuania. The Soviet occupation tried to change Kaunas’ face to an industrial one; this heritage is still out there, yet, since the restoration of independence, Kaunas has been on a successful path to becoming an open, tolerant, and contemporary city. The way of life and structure, including a vast network of cultural organizations and strong communities, represents the values of Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022.
