Temple of the Sibyl, Pulawy, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
The Temple of the Sibyl at Puławy, Poland, is a colonnaded round monopteral temple-like structure that was built in the late 18th century as a museum by Izabela Czartoryska. The Temple of the Sibyl at Puławy, also known as the "Temple of Memory," was opened in 1801. The structure was modeled after the similar monopteral "Temple of the Sibyl" at Tivoli, Italy, the site of the Tiburtine Sibyl, which was well-known throughout Europe in engravings. The Puławy temple, designed by Polish architect Chrystian Piotr Aigner, memorialized Polish history and culture, and the glories and miseries of human life. During the November Uprising of 1830–31, the museum was closed. Izabela Czartoryska's son Adam Jerzy Czartoryski evacuated surviving collections to Paris, France, where he housed them at the Hôtel Lambert. His son Władysław Czartoryski later reopened the museum in 1878 in Kraków, in Austrian Poland, as the Czartoryski Museum. (source: Wikipedia)
