In the sixteenth century Queen Anne adorned it with a sepulchral monument to her husband Stephen Báthory (who, from a duke of Transsylvania, had become one of Poland's greatest kings, and died in 1586), a work of Santi Gucci, with marble stalls in Renascence style; a new decoration of black marble was added by Canon Adalbert Serebrzyski at the end of the seventeenth century.
