This map shows the western half of Rokiskis’ broad market square, which
is dominated at the western end by St. Mathews Church (top, center).
Entering the market square from the
left is “Kamai Street” (Ulitza Kamaiskaya, today, Respublikos gatvė)
On
the extreme left are two “Jewish schools” (“yevreiskaya shkola”).
The only words on this map are Russian,
written in Cyrillic script.
From 1864 until 1904, the Czarist
government forbade the use of the Latin alphabet in Lithuania.
