About Karoliniškės
What are the main landmarks in Karoliniškės?

The Church of St. John Bosco anchors the built blocks, and the Vingis Park Rugby Stadium gives Karoliniškės a fixed point on the sporting map of Vilnius that draws people from well outside the eldership. Pasakų parkas covers a small stand of forest, roughly a tenth of a square kilometre, cut through with paths.
Apartment blocks hold everything else.
What is the history of Karoliniškės?
Construction began in 1971. Karoliniškės belongs to the planned microdistricts that Vilnius laid across its higher ground, and the logic of that decade, apartment blocks set on land that had been slope and forest above the Neris, still governs how the streets run. The eldership covers under four square kilometres.
Its record is short and residential.
Where is Karoliniškės?
