#1 Hill Of Crosses, Lithuania
While the true history of placing crosses on the hill in Northern Lithuania isn’t exactly known, over generations, it has become a major Catholic pilgrimage site in the country. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, cross-crafting has been an important part of Lithuanian culture, which is why the Hill of Crosses is nationally recognized as a cultural monument. With over 100,000 crosses on the hill, the site is quite haunting, but mysteriously beautiful.
