The holy place “Žemaičių alka” was restored in 1998. It is a pagan holy place with a paleo-astronomical observatory which was on Birutes Hill in Palanga during the 15th century. Artists have carved some figurines which symbolise the mythological gods and goddesses of the Baltic tribes – Thunder, Dawn, Sun, Moon etc. If you look at the figurines at sunset, you can calculate calendar and festival days such as Christmas.
