Lithuanians love their historic figures and are proud of their accomplishments. When you travel to Lithuania, you will encounter memorials and references to certain people who have been instrumental in Lithuania's development as a nation. From Gediminas, who founded Vilnius, to Dalia Grybauskaite, the current president, Lithuania's important figures feature prominently in Lithuanian culture, expression, and consciousness.
