Trakai was one of Lithuania's most important cities during the 13-16<sup>th</sup> century. As Trakai was completely destroyed, it is not sure when the city rights were granted, most likely in the late 14<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1491 and shows only the head of St. John Baptist, the patron saint of Trakai. The oldest seals showed the head facing the viewer, later 18<sup>th</sup> century seals, showed the face en profil. | Trakai was one of Lithuania's most important cities during the 13-16<sup>th</sup> century.
