St Francis Xavier Church & Monastery

The southern side of Rotušės aikštė is dominated by rosy-pink late-Baroque facade of the St Francis Xavier Church, college and Jesuit monastery complex. Peek inside the twin-towered church, built between 1666 and 1720, and climb up to the viewing platform for a bird's-eye vantage point over Kaunas' Old Town.
