Signatures of signatories (monument) Memorial site

In the city of Šiauliai, in front of the Julius Janonis Gymnasium, there is a monument with the signatures of the signatories of the February 16 Act.

In 2018, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the restoration of the Lithuanian state, architect Vytenis Rudokas created a monument dedicated to the four signatories of the Lithuanian Act of Independence, in order to emphasize their merits to the Lithuanian state and their connections with Šiauliai. All four immortalized signatories – Mykolas Biržiška, Steponas Kairys, Alfonsas Petrulis and Jonas Vileišis – studied at Šiauliai Gymnasium.

The signatures of the signatories M. Biržiška, S. Kairys, A. Petrulis and J. Vileišis, cut from an aged bronze sheet, are inlaid in four Finnish light gray polished granite slabs. The monument is integrated into the gymnasium fence.
