The Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral built in 1634,
is the first one to welcome each visitor.
It seems that all roads leading to Siauliai point directly towards this cathedral's 70-meter-high tower.
Forms of renaissance and mannerism as well as defensive elements
are masterfully interlaced with each other in this building.
The southern part of the cathedral is decorated with the oldest sundial in Lithuania
- the only clock of its kind showing the precise local time.
There are a number of stories telling why the Cathedral was built at this place,
and not somewhere else.
A legend has it that upon a time a huge ox wandered to Šiauliai, lay down to rest,
and passed away in its sleep.
As the time passed, the wind covered the dead ox with dust and sand,
and thus a small hill occurred.
It is that hill Sts. & Apostles Peter and Paul's Cathedral stands on today.
