The square was historically known as the Parade Square and served as a Russian military drill ground during the 19th century.
The Monument to the Union of Lublin was originally erected in 1826 and reconstructed in 1945 after being destroyed by German forces.
The fountain complex utilizes over 20,000 liters of water circulating through 1,100 nozzles.
Underground remnants of the 19th-century Saint Michael the Archangel Church are located nearby, though not directly in the square.
The square features a designated 'Memory Place' dedicated to the 3rd Maj Constitution.
Lithuanian Square is the primary representative space of Lublin, renovated in 2017 to feature a sophisticated multimedia fountain system. The square is anchored by the Monument to the Union of Lublin, which commemorates the 1569 political union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It serves as a central hub for city celebrations, military parades, and daily public gatherings. Beneath the square's surface, archaeologists discovered remnants of old buildings, some of which are now marked or integrated into the landscape. The area borders the historic Krakowskie Przedmieście street, connecting it to the Old Town. During summer evenings, the fountain complex performs synchronized water, light, and sound shows.
