    Piazza della Minerva is a square in Rome, Italy, near the Pantheon. Its name derives from the existence of a temple built on the site by Pompey dedicated to Minerva Calcidica, whose statue is now in the Vatican Museums.

    This small obelisk is made of red granite and is about 5 and a half meters high. Its sides are decorated with a single column of inscriptions. It is not known how and when it was transported from Egypt, but it is certain that in Rome it was placed near the temple of Isis. It fell and was buried until 1665, when it was accidentally found by some Dominican friars who were laying the foundations of a wall that surrounded the garden of their church.
