Criticism of The Reconstruction
Historians, who were against reconstruction, provided many arguments why reconstruction of Royal Palace was unnecessary. It was argued that the newly built Palace would destroy the urban landscape formed over the last 300 years. Vilnius Cathedral would be overshadowed by the Royal Palace, and the Gediminas' Tower would not be visible from the side of the cathedral. Materials and technologies unknown at the time of original construction have been used. The construction of the replica of the Royal Palace was financed by the State while many historic authentic buildings are in critical condition.

“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
