The Cathedral of Tarnów

The tallest sepulchral monuments in Europe! - Massive, over ten-meter-tall gothic-renaissance sepulchral monument, which belongs to Tarnowski family, and a baroque one, which belongs to Ostrogski family, can be admired in the Cathedral of Tarnow. Erected in the second half of the 14th century, it serves as a parish church under the invocation of the Nativity of Our Lady. The Cathedral was renovated during the 15th century and once again at the beginning of the 19th century. During the years 1889-1891 it was reconstructed in the Neo-Gothic style. The Cathedral is a quite impressive structure with gorgeous lierne vaults, late Gothic style portals and a tower that reaches towards the heavens. Six Renaissance sepulchral monuments commemorating members of the Tarnowski family (16th century) and the statuary monuments of Ostrogski princes (1620) remain in its interior. More: www.go-tarnow.com
