The Vytautas monument, which was made on the year of Grand Duke Vytautas in 1930, is standing in the central square of Veliuona, between the church and monitor house. The monument was made after gathering money from Veliuona residence. The author of the monument, the artist Apolinaras Simkus was an inexperience sculptor, thus the monument is rather amateur. Still, the residents of Veluona were able to conserve the monument during the Soviet period, when it was usual to destroy such monuments. A little monument made in 1991 and dedicated to the 700th anniversary of Veliuona, stands in a close distance from the Vytautas Monument (sculptor S. Simulynas).
