General Joseph Bem Mausoleum, Mausoleum in Strzelecki Park, Tarnów, Poland.
The rectangular sarcophagus rises on six Corinthian columns positioned on an island in the middle of a pond within Strzelecki Park.
General Józef Bem's remains were transferred from Aleppo to this mausoleum in 1929, following a ceremonial journey through Budapest and Kraków.
The sarcophagus features inscriptions in Polish, Hungarian, and Turkish, reflecting General Bem's influence across multiple nations during the 19th century.
The mausoleum can be accessed through Strzelecki Park, which connects to several other historical landmarks in central Tarnów.
Stone spheres and chains surrounding the sarcophagus were created from melted cannons, representing General Bem's artillery expertise.
