 Once destroyed in 1963 and completely rebuilt, the three chapels, symbolizing the Mount of Olives and the Gardens of Gethsemane, are found only 20 meters away from the relatively busy "Verkių" Street, and about a hundred meters downhill from a group of Soviet multi-storey apartment buildings.The forested area along the banks of the River Neris in Žirmūnai and its walkways are a popular recreational destination for many Vilnians.As a primarily residential area, Žirmūnai hosted only 7.4% of Vilnius' public offices in 2003.
