Uncovering the Past: A Journey through Time at Migonių Hill

Uncovering the Past: A Journey through Time at Migonių Hill

Step back a thousand years at Migonių Hill, a hidden treasure of Lithuanian history now meticulously preserved by the Lithuanian National Museum and the Vytautas the Great War Museum.

In the Kaišiadoriai region, south of Migonių village (Kruonė Eldership), lies the nondescript 11-16 meter high Migonių piliakalnis. This hill, with its striking oval pit measuring 9 x 16 meters, encompasses a narrative spanning a millennium. The platform offering access to a 25 x 2-meter area and a residential zone with cultural layers up to 0.5 meters thick was discovered through excavations conducted by Vilnius University and the Institute of History of Lithuania in 1954-1955 and 1957.
