Wilno, the enchanting city of Lithuania and former capital of Vilnius, beckons with its rich history and cultural allure. In the 1800s, artists like Vasily Semyonovich Sadovnikov captured the essence of this historic city with their watercolors, showcasing the stunning architecture and picturesque streets.
