Lapidarium in Siedlce, Historical monument in Siedlce, Poland.
The Lapidarium in Siedlce is a monument site with a classicist chapel and preserved gravestones spanning different periods. The graves are arranged in an open space around the chapel structure and display regional architectural characteristics.
The site originated on the grounds of a Catholic cemetery dating to the 18th century. In the 1980s, urban development led to the cemetery's closure and the transformation of the space into what exists today.
The site shows gravestones in different styles and with varied inscriptions that reflect the diverse groups living in this region over time. The differences in how graves are marked reveal something about who the community included.
The site is located in central Siedlce and can be reached on foot. Visitors can walk through the grounds at their own pace or inquire about guided visits.
The site gathers gravestones that were relocated from their original locations and brought together in this central space. This relocation makes it a place where history was collected and preserved rather than left scattered.
