It is thought that this street was named “Literatai” only at the second half of 19th century in the honour of Adam Mickiewicz who lived here. The poet Adam Mickiewicz lived at the beginning of this street, what is witnessed by three plaques on the building in the Lithuanian, Russian and Polish languages. From 2008 a group of artists had an idea to revive the street and to decorate it with artworks related with litterateurs. A wall was solemnly opened in the street where painters and other field artists created plates or small objects made of metal, wood, glass, etc. in the honour of litterateurs.

The wall with the artworks mounted on it is situated in the by-street, which stretches in a broken manner and branches off Pilies Street in the direction of the St. Michael the Archangel Church direct

Poet Adomas Mickevičius used to live at the beginning of what is now commonly known as Literatų Street. Today, some 200 works of Lithuanian and foreign artists adorn the walls and pay homage to Lithuania’s literary pioneers. The effigies are made of metal, wood, glass and other materials: each one a gift to a literary master, chosen by the artists themselves. Today Literatų Street is one of the most delightful city streets, becoming an unconventional gallery, the appearance of which changes several times a day.
