The St. Peter Square Obelisk is a towering historical landmark at the heart of Piazza San Pietro. Originally brought from Egypt to Rome by Emperor Caligula, this ancient obelisk was later relocated to its current position by Pope Sixtus V in 1586. Standing as a symbol of continuity and resilience, it is surrounded by the stunning colonnades designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, making it a centerpiece of one of the world’s most iconic public spaces.
