Kalnų Park is located in the centre of Vilnius and is conveniently accessible from T. Kosciuškos Street. If you climb the hill from this side, you will find yourself at the stage. In summer, various concerts and festivals are organised here. The territory of the park borders Užupis (Krivių St.) and the Vilnelė River. Several hills surround Kalnų Park.
The Hill of Three Crosses is the most prominent of all. It is believed that at some point in history seven Franciscan monks were tortured to death by pagans on that hill, pinned to crosses, and floated down the river. Now the Three Crosses memorial by architect and sculptor Antanas Vivulskis stands there. Stalo Hill (Table Hill) got its name for its shape: its top is as flat as a table. The Hill of Gediminas Grave marks the burial site of Duke Gediminas.
