Liberty Square – The Historic Heart of Panevėžys Liberty Square, the historic center of Panevėžys, was formed in the early 16th century on the left bank of the Nevėžis River, at the crossroads of major trade routes. This triangular square served as the city’s focal point for centuries, hosting markets, political events, and cultural gatherings. Over the years, it bore many names, from Market Square and Central Square to Lenin Square, until reclaiming its current name, Liberty Square, after Lithuania regained independence. Today, the square is a pedestrian-friendly zone, home to key city landmarks like the Panevėžys Municipality, Juozas Miltinis Drama Theatre,
and Panevėžys District Court. While many historical buildings were demolished during the Soviet era, the 2019–2021 reconstruction gave the square a modern look while preserving its historical essence. Archaeological discoveries revealed remnants of an 18th-century cobblestone pavement, underscoring its longstanding importance. Through centuries of change—from wooden houses to brick architecture, bustling markets to a contemporary leisure space—Liberty Square has retained its significance. Its northern and western edges still hint at ancient structures. The area once housed treasury buildings, synagogues, barracks, and a monastery established by Piarist monks.
