Cenker KöseAugust 2, 2016You should start your walking & discovering tour from here towards to the castle. Iconig facade.
Liza TripsgetAugust 13, 2014Impressive place :) I would recommend to enter the city through this gate - surely the best way!
- David LounsburyJuly 2, 2018Make sure to visit the chapel to see the icon set in silver. Go quietly- there will be lots of people praying.
Vytautas JuzėnasMarch 20, 2012Completed in 1522, the Dawn Gate (or Sharp Gate (Ostra Brama) as it’s known to the Poles) is the only remaining gate from the city’s original defensive walls.- Kipras BielinskasDecember 15, 2015It's a very nice and religious place. Huge saint painting. Must see in Vilnius!
Explore VilniusApril 15, 2011See the only surviving gate of the first original five gates in the city wall. The painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, in the Chapel of the Gates of Dawn is known all over the world.
YaSeptember 27, 2013A bunch of homeless buddies live here, right inside the gate. Very communicative, though extremely foul-smelling.
Lisette F.August 1, 2011The legend says that all the travellers that cross the Gates will be bless and have luck during their trip :)
You need to spend more time than just pass trough.
Oleg AndriychukJanuary 24, 2015Очень понравилась Икона Божией Матери Острообрамской и её день празднования - 8 января (совпадает с моим Днем Рождения)!
Обязательно для посещения! Вы все почувствуете сами.
Vanessa MartiniJune 22, 2018Quizá una de las capillas mas lindas en las que he estado. Los detalles de cada corazón repujado y el trabajo del latón es hermoso
Халодным жнівеньскім днём адчыняю сэрца браму. Матка Боска Вастрабрамска, злітуйся над намі.
Vincent DelhomelJuly 23, 2013Allez ensuite écouter les chants de la messe de l église qui se trouve juste a côté

Visit the most miraculous place of Vilnius. Until XVIII century there was a defensive wall. Later the place became sacral and miraculous because of the powers of Blessed Virgin Mary’s painting.
