This small obelisk is made of red granite and measures 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 the truth is that in Rome it was placed near the temple of Isis. He fell and was buried until 1665, when he was accidentally found by some Dominican friars who were laying the foundations of a wall that surrounded the garden of their church.
