Old Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Tarnów, Poland.

The Old Cemetery spans across a vast area at the intersection of Tuchowska and Narutowicza streets, containing numerous ornate gravestones and two distinct chapels.

Established in 1791, this burial ground initially served the poor population but later became the resting place of notable figures including Princess Maria Anna of Lubomirscy Radziwiłłowa.

The cemetery features the Sanguszko chapel with remarkable sculptures by Antoni Madeyski depicting Prince Władysław and Prince Roman Damian Sanguszko from 1905 and 1924.

Visitors can access detailed information about the cemetery through a comprehensive guide written by Antoni Sypek and academic studies by Stanisław Potępa.

In the southern section lies the grave of Rufin Piotrowski, who documented his Siberian exile experiences in widely translated diaries.
