27 ancient Egyptian obelisks are known, 13 of which are located in Italy. The Lateran obelisk, with its 32m (45m with stand), is the world's tallest monolithic obelisk as well as the oldest in Rome.

Highest of Roman obelisks, put on the spina of Circus Maximus with the Flaminio in 357, it was erected by Sixtus V in front of S. Giovanni in Laterano in 1588, replacing the statue of Marcus Aurelius.

Wikipedia told me this: It is the largest standing ancient Egyptian obelisk in the world, and it is also the tallest obelisk in Italy, weighing 455 tons — worth reading more details over there.

Several similar obelisks are to find here and there in Rome. Very nice blending of cultures

Great area, visit the church and walk down Via Merulana or have a 10 minutes walk toward Colosseo

Majestuoso en el centro de la plaza de San Juan de Letrán, actualmente con el récord de ser el obelisco más alto y pesado del mundo, junto a él, la iglesia de San Juan y unas hermosas fuentes.
