Church of the Holy Cross (Lithuanian: Šv. Kryžiaus bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in the Vilnius Old Town.[1][2][3][4] Initially, in 1543 a chapel was built which was later expanded and rebuilt.[1][2][3] The current towers were built in 1725.[1][3] Following the fire in 1737 the church was reconstructed and a late baroque interior was installed.[1][4]
The church is famous for a spring with miraculous water in its basement (people believe that this water cures eye diseases) and a painting of Mary, mother of Jesus, which bestows favors.[2][3]
