Vilniaus gatvė 10. After taking your first sip of Vero Cafe coffee, stop by the cafe and listen to the first story about Vilniaus gatvė. If there is a Vilnius street in any city, it usually leads to Vilnius. However, Vilnius is unique in that it itself has Vilnius Street, which leads... towards Neries or Vilija. Although it is often believed that the Vilijos or Wilejska Street leading from the old Vilija Gate to the Vilija River was mistakenly named Vilnius or Wileńska only in the 19th century, but as archival sources show, this mistake is very old. In Russian and Polish, the words Vilniaus and Vilijos are separated by only one letter, so the names of the gate and the street were often confused. Villa Gate, first mentioned in the privilege of its construction in 1503. That the street should not be named after Vilnius, but after Vilija, was talked about a lot, but never implemented. The last time to return the old name was in 1989, but the mistake has successfully reached our days.
