The monument of hetman Tarnowski is almost 14 meters tall, and stands in St. Anne Chapel, which is located in northern [[nave]] of the Tarnów Cathedral. Padovano completed his work in 1573; furthermore, he designed the [[Tarnów Town Hall|Renaissance town hall]], and oversaw its remodelling in the 1560s. At that time, in 28 [[Niche (architecture)|niches]] of the town hall were portraits of members of the [[Tarnowski family]] – from Spicymir Leliwita to [[Jan Krzysztof Tarnowski]], who died in 1567. In 1570 Tarnów became property of the [[Ostrogski family]], after [[Zofia Tarnowska]], the daughter of the hetman, married prince [[Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski]]. In 1588, after Konstanty's death, the town changed hands several times, belonging to different families, which slowed its development. Until the [[Partitions of Poland]], Tarnów belonged to the County of [[Pilzno]], [[Sandomierz Voivodeship]]. The town, like almost all locations of Lesser Poland, was devastated in October 1655, during the [[Deluge (history)|Swedish invasion of Poland]], and as a result, its population declined from 2,000 to 768. In 1723, the town became the property of the [[Sanguszko family]], which purchased it from the [[Lubomirski family]].
