Tour of the Pažaislis Camaldolese Monastery

I invite you to an unforgettable tour of the Pažaislis Camaldolese Monastery and Church. Together, we will uncover the secrets and beauty of baroque art and history. This unique site not only houses beautiful works of art but also fascinating stories about the lives of the Camaldolese monks. You will discover: The history of the monastery and church, the lifestyle of the Camaldolese monks and their quiet devotion, the unique baroque decorations created by Italian artists in the 17th century, Zygmunt Krzysztof Pac's contribution to the construction of the monastery.

Miracles, secrets, and riddles – this is what the 17th-century art oasis on the Hill of Peace in Pažaislis offers us. We will examine the monastery and church decor created by Italian artists in the 17th century. We will not only admire the sensual baroque pearls, but you will also hear what miraculous stories are encoded in every work of art and every fresco.
