The archaeological research of the Great Synagogue began in 2011 when remains of the Great Synagogue were first located. In 2016-2017, remnants of the public bathhouse of the Jewish community of Vilnius and two\u00a0Mikves<\/em>\u00a0(ritual baths) were exposed. The aim of the 2018 excavation is to further explore the bathhouse and to outline its perimeter and the back (northwestern) wall of the Great Synagogue.<\/p>\n
