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:
“Eat your meals according to the size of your bowl.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The obese is ... in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.”
—Aristotle (384 B.C.–322 B.C.)
