National Bards crypt is a crypt located in the basements of the Wawel Cathedral on Wawel Hill. It serves as the burial place for Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki, two prominent poets of the Romantic era whose works have become an essential part of Polish culture. Both were recognized as spiritual leaders of the nation during its period of captivity, worthy of resting in the necropolis of former Polish rulers.
