On September 12, 2003, celebrating the birthday of Šiauliai, the sculpture “Aušra” (“The Dawn”) was unveiled near the old park (sculptor Dalia Matulaitė). It is a massive 4-meter-high brown Swedish granite statue, weighing 20 tonnes. This monument perpetuated the memory of “Aušra” newspaper, its publishers and fellows who took part in the movement for the recovery of the Lithuanian word.
