"Sigismund's Chapel" ("Kaplica Zygmuntowska") of the Wawel Cathedral is one of the most notable pieces of architecture in Kraków. Built as a funerary chapel for the last Jagiellons, it has been hailed by many art historians as "the most beautiful example of the Tuscan Renaissance north of the Alps". Financed by King Sigismund I the Old, it was built in 1519-33 by Bartolomeo Berrecci.
The place is located in Cathedral Basilica of St. Stanislaus and St. Wenceslaus
