This is the only obelisk from Egypt in Rome that does not have a cross on top of it. You can see this one in the Piazza Navona. It is in the middle of the Fountain of the Four Rivers. |
Mobs and mobs of people are in the Piazza Navona. It is very much a popular tourist area for food and shopping. |
