Tomb of Ramón de Cardona, Renaissance sepulcher in Sant Nicolau de Bellpuig, Spain.

The marble tomb features an architectural composition resembling a triumphal arch, measuring 11 meters high and 5.5 meters wide.

Isabella de Requesens commissioned the tomb for her husband Ramon de Cardona, who served as viceroy of Sicily and Naples until his death in 1522.

Giovanni Marigliano da Nola, a prominent Neapolitan sculptor, created this marble masterwork between 1523 and 1528 using Carrara marble from Italy.

The monument stands within the Sant Nicolau church after its relocation from the monastery of Sant Bartomeu in 1841 to prevent deterioration.

The sculptural elements narrate Ramon de Cardona's biography through maritime themes, military victories, and Christian motifs carved into white marble surfaces.
