La Porte de l'Aurore est un lieu d'une beauté saisissante et d'une importance spirituelle profonde particulièrement pour les Lituaniens et les Polonais. Cette église se situe sur une arche en dessous de laquelle vous pouvez passer. Le soir, l'arche est illuminée, créant une atmosphère sécurisante et apaisante. L'église elle-même est charmante et empreinte de sérénité. Il est important de noter qu'il est interdit de prendre des photos à l'intérieur. Avant d'être un lieu saint, la Porte de l'Aurore 'était qu'une des dix portes de la ville, dotée d'une tour défensive, la seule à avoir survécu jusqu'à nos jours. Les fonctions défensives de cette construction sont attestées par les meurtrières, bien visibles de l'extérieur de la porte. C'est un symbole merveilleux et remarquable de Vilnius, une visite incontournable.

Must see place. It was built between 1503 and 1522 as a part of defensive fortifications for the city of Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It has also been known as the Medininkai Gate, as it led to the village Medininkai south of Vilnius as well as Aštra broma, which derivative for the Lithuanian language word aštra meaning sharp. Of ten city gates, only the Gate of Dawn remains, while the others were destroyed by the order of the government at the end of the 18th century.

빌니우스의 랜드마크 이며 또한 순례지 중 하나 입니다. 새벽의 문 "Aušros vartai"에 있는 성모 마리아의 그림이 유명합니다. 아픈 이들의 병이 낫는 기적이 많이 있어서 성모 마리아의 그림 주위에 금속으로 된 하트들은 기적을 경험하신 분들이 고마움의 뜻으로 붙인것 이라고 합니다. 이 작은 차펠이 세계적은 순례지인 이유도 바로 여기서 기인합니다. 많은 방문객, 여행객들도 이곳에서 기도하면 소원이 이루어진다는 믿음이 있습니다. 리투아니아에 오셨다면 꼭 방문해 보세요. This small chapel named Aušros vartai is one of the landmarks in Vilnius and also pilgrim. Its Mercy Mother Mary's picture is very famous among Catholics. The picture is miraculous, and many people gave testimonies truly they were blessed. Lots of Illed people were cured. And they decorated with metal hearts the Mother Mary's pucture. If you are in Vilnius or planning to visit Lithuania, don't forget to visit the Gate of Dawn. Enterance is free. Na, lietuviems nereikia papasakoti apie Aušros vartus. Nes Jus geriau žinote apie tai. Tačiau mažai kas žino Aušros vartai turi kitus pavadinimus. Seniau juos vadino Medininkų vartai nes kelias tęsiasi į Medininkus. Vėliau juos vadino dar Ašmenos vartais. Nes vartų vieta buvo pakraštyje. Dar vėliau kaip ir mes žinome kaip Aušros vartais. Todėl kad Aušros vartai yra rytuose kur anksčiausiai sutinka Aušrą. Be to Prie Gailestingumo Motinos žvaigždės yra Aušros. Taip ir tikimasi atsirado Aušros vartų vardas. Taip pat Motinos Marija vadina ir Aušros vartų Madona ir dar Vilniaus Madona.

Built in the 1500’s ,Historical. It’s the only survivor of the original gates around the city of Vilnius. The most famous part is the chapel above it, where you can visit the world famous and authentic painting of The Blessed Virgin Mary. Depends on the time and season there may be big group visitors, as the chapel is very small so try not to go when it’s crowded. No photo is permitted , and please respect that.
