Three Crosses ((リトアニア語:Trys kryžiai)) is a prominent monument in Vilnius, Lithuania, on the Hill of Three Crosses, originally known as the Bleak Hill ((リトアニア語:Plikasis kalnas)), in Kalnai Park. According to a legend, seven Franciscan friars were beheaded on top of this hill. Wooden crosses were built in the location since the early 17th century. It soon became a symbol of the city and an integral part of the city's skyline. As wood rots, the crosses needed to be periodically replaced. In 1916, a concrete monument was designed by Polish–Lithuanian architect and sculptor Antoni Wiwulski. It was torn down in 1950 by order of the Soviet authorities. A new monument designed by Henrikas Šilgalis was erected in its place in 1989. The monument was depicted on 50 litas banknote. A spectacular panorama of the Vilnius Old Town can be observed from a small observation deck at the base of the crosses. ==Legend==
(詳細はBychowiec Chronicle, fourteen Franciscan friars were invited to Vilnius from Podolia by Petras Goštautas.〔 The friars publicly preached the gospel and badmouthed Lithuanian gods. Angered city residents burned the monastery and killed all fourteen friars. Seven of them were beheaded on the Bleak Hill; the other seven were crucified and thrown into the Neris or Vilnia River.〔 Historians debate factual accuracy of the story. It could be an embellishment of a story from ''Chronica XXIV Generalium'' about two Franciscans murdered around 1340.〔 It could also be an embellishment of s story from ''De Conformitate Vitae B. P. Francisco'' by Bartholomew Rinonico about five Franciscans martyrs. If later is the case, the event most likely occurred in 1369.〔
