Size
The true size of the dungeons is unknown. Some tend to believe that the known part of the dungeons is only a part of the whole system, and that there is a second level of them, stairs to which are bricked off. Some claim that these dungeons are below the whole of central Vilnius. The known part of the dungeons is under the districts near Domininkonų and Vilniaus streets. The only known entrance to the dungeons is from the Church of the Holy Spirit; it is believed though that there might be connections between the dungeons and cellars of other buildings, such as a former monastery not far away.

Famous quotes containing the word size:
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.”
—Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)
“Learn to shrink yourself to the size of the company you are in. Take their tone, whatever it may be, and excell in it if you can; but never pretend to give the tone. A free conversation will no more bear a dictator than a free government will.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
