ENThe restoration of the Royal Palace of Vilnius is related with the palace environment. The Renaissance and Baroque residences of European sovereigns’ have parks with trimmed greeneries, fountains and sculptures. The data about the park of the Lithuanian Royal Palace are very scanty. It is known from historical sources that a garden with cherry-tree alleys, ponds and fountains and marble sculptures used to surround the palace. Geometrically arranged palace garden is depicted in the iconography of the middle of the 16th century - the preserved Vilnius city plan. Archaeological data are also a source of information about the garden. Unfortunately, this problem so far has received no attention. Based on the archaeological data, it is possible to determine the layout of the garden and places of fountains and sculptures. The experience gained during the studies of other sovereigns’ residences could be of great use. Palynological analyses of the cultural layer of the Lower Castle of Vilnius revealed that decorative parterres existed in this territory as far back as the 13th-14th centuries. Sherds of large flowerpots, seeds and stone fruits of linden, conker and walnuts prove the existence of a garden. Beans, peas, cabbages, radish, turnips and potherbs were grown in the kitchen garden near the palace. [From the publication]
