Yup, that's what they call Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. I guarantee you it's not because of similarities in winter temperatures - I just returned from a week there and the high was 29 degrees.
No, it's because of the number of churches. And you know what? I don't think it's much of an exaggeration. You can't walk a block without stumbling onto yet another Jesuit, Catholic, Orthodox, or whatever kind of church (even one single Lutheran one). As for the architecture of the churches, it's definitely eclectic, running from Gothic to classical Greek.
