Salakas

Lithuania

Salakas, a tiny town in northeastern Lithuania, is home to a neo-romantic Church of Our Lady of Sorrows built from hewn stone between 1906 and 1911, alongside a 1930 obelisk bearing soldier and woman sculptures erected on the former site of a Dominican monastery. The town also holds the only active Muslim cemetery in the Aukštaitija region, historic Jewish burial grounds, and a visitors' centre for Gražutė Regional Park that includes a local ethnographic exhibition.
