Literatų Street (literally: Literati Street; lt|Literatų gatvė) is one of streets in the Old Town of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.[1] It is a short narrow street mostly known for public display of decorative and artistic plaques dedicated to writers who have lived and worked in Vilnius or otherwise have shared a connection with Vilnius and Lithuania.[2] [3] The artwork was first added in 2009 when Vilnius was designated as the European Capital of Culture and has grown to some 200 plaques.[4]
Its name originates from the many printing houses and bookstores which were located in the street or from the fact that prominent poet Adam Mickiewicz briefly lived there in 1823.[5]
