“A WHAT?”

An obelisk is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape at the top.

Like Egyptian pyramids, whose shape is thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, an obelisk is said to resemble a petrified ray of the sun-disk. A pair of obelisks usually stood in front of a pylon. Ancient obelisks were often monolithic, whereas most modern obelisks are made of several stones and can have interior spaces.

But you’ll need to travel to Rome to visit the area with the most examples.

Rome is the obelisk capital of the world. The most prominent is the 25-meter (82 ft), 331-ton obelisk at Saint Peter’s Square in Rome. The obelisk had stood since AD 37 on its site on the wall of the Circus of Nero, flanking St Peter’s Basilica.
