Bazilionai is a small town in Šiauliai County in northern-central Lithuania.

It is situated on the bank of the Dubysa River about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of the road connecting Šiauliai with Sovetsk (former trade route to Tilsit).

[2] In 1744, King Augustus III granted a privilege to organize regular fairs in the town.

[3] Before monks of the Order of Saint Basil the Great arrived to the town in 1749, it was known as Padubysys (literally: near Dubysa).

All of them were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by an einsatzgruppen of Germans and Lithuanian nationalists in 1941.
