Abstract
This essay reconsiders two of the most famous monuments in Poland, the Warsaw Castle and the Sigismund Column. It argues that both evoke imperial themes, with reference to a model provided by the Habsburgs for both the architecture and the sculpture, but present them in ways that specifically express the ambitions of the Vasa dynasty.
