Fascinated with the new art Sigismund the Old brought to Krakow two artists: first Francesco Fiorentino and several years later Bartolommeo Berrecci. Remaking of the Wawel Royal Castle in the new “Italian style” was started on the initiative of King Sigismund the Old. In 1517‑1533, the mausoleumMausoleummausoleum of the Jagiellons - the „Sigismund's Chapel”. The Italian artists found their followers amongst the Poles. Building of burial chapels by the richest magnate families and commemoration of the deceased with impressive marble tombstones was especially popular. Similar to Italy, the most important places of the public life of the bourgeois were: the parish church, the town hall, the cloth hall, and then private houses. However, looking at the architectural masterpieces created for the courthouse circles, the bourgeois wanted to give new looks to their representative buildings. Rational considerations limited them just to some details stressing the new, fashionable looks, e.g. adding of an attic or a change of the architectural design of the façade. The town halls in Sandomierz and Tarnów and the Cloth House in Krakow were ornamented in this manner, as well as numerous tenaments of the bourgeois. One of scares examples of completely new investments was the town hall in Poznań.

Fotografia barwna przedstawiająca Renesansowy, klasztorny dziedziniec zamku w Brzegu.
Renaissance, cloistered courtyard of the castle in Brzeg. Prince George II from the Piast dynasty in the middle of the 16th century rebuilt his headquarters in Brzeg in the Renaissance style. His idea was to reconstruct the Wawel castle of the Jagiellonian dynasty. The similarities resulted in giving the castle the name of the "Silesian Wawel". Works were continued by successive Piast dynasty members on the throne of the duchy: Frederic II and Jerzy II. In the years 1554-1560 a representative entrance gate was erected, decorated with statues of the founder and his wife and busts of his ancestors.
