General presentation
Telšiai
Samugitian capital built on hills around Lake Mastis, rich in small regional works and symbols.
Old town of Telšiai, Cathedral of St.Antoine and Lake Mastis give the most telling landmarks of Telšiai. Together, they form a destination where urban life, shores and lakes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Place indismissible
Vieille ville de Telšiai
The old town of Telšiai climbs and descends around Lake Mastis, with cathedral, sloping squares and sculptures related to Samogiti. Fun details in the public space give a lively personality to the center, without erasing its ancient houses and views of the water.
Cathedral
Cathédrale Saint-Antoine
Saint-Antoine Cathedral dominates Telšiai Its two-level plan, its baroque interior and its courtyard opening to the sloping streets make it a very concrete architectural landmark in the capital of Samoa.
Lake
Lac Mastis
Lake Mastis borders Telšiai The walk along the water gives the best views of the urban slopes, especially when the evening light hangs on the facades. It is the same as a stage open under the old town, with contemporary promenade, beaches and riverside sculptures.
