Nagrobek Władysława III Warneńczyka na Wawelu, Medieval royal tomb in Wawel Cathedral, Kraków, Poland.

The red marble and bronze sarcophagus features King Władysław III in full armor holding the Szczerbiec sword with a lion figure at his feet.

Created between 1903 and 1906 by sculptor Antoni Madeyski, this cenotaph commemorates the king who died in 1444 during the Battle of Varna.

The tomb design emphasizes the monarch's role as a warrior rather than displaying traditional royal symbols, except for the crown on his head.

Located between pillars separating the main nave from the northern aisle of Wawel Cathedral, the monument remains accessible during regular visiting hours.

The sides of the tomb display a frieze containing Polish and Hungarian coats of arms, reflecting the dual monarchy of Władysław III.
