In one of the most quiet and picturesque areas of Kaunas there is the beautiful Pazaislis Monastery, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe. It was built in the 17th century and it changed its status many times over the history of its existence. At a certain time in the huge building of the monastery, there was a hospital, an archive and even a tourist base. Religious significance was returned to the historical building only recently. Now in the monastery you can see interesting church relics. Interesting cultural events and concerts of classical music are often conducted here. In the monastery there was also a secret passage, the length of which is about 12 kilometers. Hundreds of years ago, it connected the monastery with the center of Kaunas.
The city has a very interesting Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy, which was opened in the building of an old pharmacy in 1936. The exposition of this museum includes old equipment, which were used for medicines, old books on medicine, vials for medicines and other pharmaceutical accessories. Currently, the collection has about 17,000 exhibits. The museum is housed in a very beautiful building of the 16th century.
