Trakai castle

Lithuania
Trakai Castle was built as a fortress to protect against the crusaders at the beginning of the 15th century, during the reign of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vitovt. At present, a historical museum is located on its territory. Trakai has become a place for receiving delegations, heads of government, as well as a place for signing agreements and treaties. Monarchs, presidents and prime ministers of many countries have been here. According to the legend, if on a full moon from the opposite shore of the lake, standing opposite the south-western tower, you stare at the castle wall, then shortly before dawn, you may see the ghost of the Lithuanian prince Vitovt. If you manage to see a ghost, then good luck and great prosperity await you during the year.
