18. Office building of cooperative union of Lithuania
Centras
The Vilnius Culture, Recreation and Sports Hall opened in 1982. The architect, Algimantas Mačiulis, designed this building in the spirit of late modernism, which in a broader context makes a bold counterpoint to the Church of St Peter and St Paul on the other side of the river. The Hall has had a colourful history, and played its part in what would become the Lithuanian Independence movement – namely, by hosting the rock festival Lithuanika.
