Kaunas (; Lithuanian: [ˈkɒʊ̯ˑnˠɐs] ) is the second-largest city in Lithuania (after Vilnius), the fourth-largest city in the Baltic states, and an important centre of Lithuanian economic, academic, and cultural life. Kaunas was the largest city and the centre of Kaunas County in the Duchy of Trakai of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Trakai Palatinate since 1413.
In the Russian Empire, it was the capital of the Kaunas Governorate from 1843 to 1915.
Between 1920 and 1939, when Vilnius was seized and became part of Poland, Kaunas served as the temporary capital of Lithuania.
During the interwar period Kaunas was celebrated for its rich cultural and academic life, fashion, construction of countless Art Deco and Lithuanian National Revival architectural-style buildings as well as popular furniture, interior design of the time, and a widespread café culture.
