The Vilnius Dungeons (Lithuanian: Vilniaus požemiai) are medieval dungeons under parts of central Vilnius. Their real size and extent, as well as purpose and age, are arguable; there are some urban legends and various theories about these dungeons. In the dungeons, there are about 4000 dead bodies. Due to the dry climate inside, many of them have naturally mummified; others are just skeletons.
