Žemaičių Kalvarija

Lithuania
Someday we will visit Žemaičių Kalvarija or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Žemaičių Kalvarija

Žemaičių Kalvarija is a small town in Plungė district municipality, Samogitia, Lithuania. It is known as a major site for Catholic pilgrimage.

This place was mentioned in 1253 as Garde (Gardaí). In the 17th century, when the main church and road of cross was built, people started calling it the New Jerusalem, but after some time it was named Kalvarija after the name of the hill where Jesus was crucified. In the 20th century, the town was renamed to Žemaičių Kalvarija to avoid misunderstandings, because there is another town in south-west of Lithuania called Kalvarija.
