Villa Lituania

Villa Lituania was the inter-war Lithuanian legation building in Rome. The building belonged to Lithuania in the 1930s, but after the country was invaded by the Soviet Union, the legation was taken into Russia’s possession and is still used to house Russian diplomats. Lithuanian diplomats and top-ranking state figures have been demanding that Italian authorities return the former legation building to Lithuania, or compensate the loss in cash or real estate.[1]

Today Villa Lituania is regarded as the last occupied piece of Lithuanian territory.
