Three crosses are believed to have first been erected on this hill above the Old Town of Vilnius in the 17th century to commemorate a group of 14 Franciscan monks from a nearby monastery who were martyred in the 14th century
The monument has changed several times. The present one was built in 1989 to replace one that had been removed by the Soviet authorities in the 1950s
