Solar Clock Square remembers historical events because the Solar Battle was very important for the whole Lithuania. The square makes sense of meaning of three symbols, which are connected to the birth of the city, its history and name: the sun, the shot and time. The square and the sculpture were built to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the city. One can also see Frenkelis Palace in the city. Walking up the Vilnius street, so called walking street, one can admire small city sculptures.
