Istanbul'da

OBELISQUE (DIKILITAS) The Obelisque is found in Sultanahmet Square but was originally erected in Egypt by Pharaoh Tutmosis III. It was brought to Istanbul by Theodosius I in 390. The Column is 19.59 meters high, made of pink granite and illustrates the battle victories of the Pharaoh on its four sides. The western face of the pedestal contains a representation of Theodosius I seated on this throne, his wife and children at his side, receiving ambassadors.
