Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports
Vilnius, Lithuania
This panoramic image, stitched together from 27 individual shots, unveils the foreboding presence of the Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports in stark black and white. Erected in 1971, this arena stands as an emblem of Communist Modernism, a unique architectural style. Closed in 2004 due to safety concerns, the colossal structure exudes an imposing aura, reminding us of its historical significance as one of the few sports arenas fashioned in this distinctive manner.
