Hill of Crosses, Lithuania
Situated about 12 km (7,5 mi) north of the city of Siauliai, northern Lithuania, the Hill of Crosses is a unique Catholic pilgrimage site notable for its sheer numbers of crosses, giant crucifixes, statues of the Virgin Mary, effigies and rosaries. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed the hill is now home to at least 250,000 crosses.
