The castle
Trakai castle dates back to the first Lithuanian kings and is in its present shape an excellent reconstruction, one of the most visited sights of Lithuania.

A nice picture of Trakai! Even I don't have such one :)
Interesting notice about Karaites. Castle looks really attractive!
Nice pics.Hope you enjoyed time there.p.s.Lithuania had only one king Mindaugas who in 1253 became the first & the only Lithuanian king.Later Grand Duke Vytautas almost became a king(polish disturbed that.).
