The Town Hall Square in Vilnius was not laid out "according to a rope", as in many European cities or, for example, the second-largest Lithuanian city, Kaunas.
In the 17th century, the Town Hall clock was installed in it and bells were hung, in order to notify residents as to when to put out their lights or to warn them of some danger.
In the 17th century, the Town Hall contained courts, the burgomaster's office, the- merchants' council, the archives, a weapons room, a prison (near the gates), and, in the square itself, a place for punishment, the so-called poles of shame.
