First mentioned in 1524, it is one of the symbols of Vilnius. In the 17th century, a wooden chapel was built to house an image of the Virgin Mary, who, according to custom, was supposed to protect the city. After a fire, a stone chapel was built in its place. The miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary is one of the finest examples of Renaissance painting in Lithuania. It is venerated by Catholics, Orthodox and Uniates alike, with numerous ex-votos.
