The sarcophagus in Puławy is a marble monument located deep within the Wild Promenade in the Czartoryski palace and park complex. It was created in 1797 by the Roman sculptor Maximilian Labourer on the order of Princess Izabela Czartoryska to commemorate her parents-in-law: Maria Zofia from Sieniawski and August Alexander Czartoryski.
The monument is a copy of the sarcophagus of the Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Scipio, known as Barbatus. It is the first monument in Poland in the shape of a tumulus (chest-shaped grave). It was brought to Puławy in 1803.
The sarcophagus is an important historical and artistic element of the park in Puławy, serving as a testament to the fascination with ancient culture and the care for family memory among the aristocracy of that period. When strolling along the Wild Promenade, it is worth stopping by this monument to appreciate its craftsmanship and symbolism.
