Pompey's Pillar

Pompey’s Pillar, officially known as the Memorial of Diocletian, is an impressive ancient structure located in Alexandria, Egypt. Standing at 25 meters tall, it is the largest column in Egypt and was constructed in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD. Originally intended as a tribute, the pillar is made of red granite and showcases exquisite craftsmanship. It is surrounded by the remnants of the Serapeum, a once-majestic temple dedicated to the god Serapis. The column has withstood the test of time and remains a significant historical landmark, symbolizing Alexandria's rich heritage and its connection to both Roman and Egyptian civilizations. Visitors are captivated by its grandeur and the stories it embodies from ancient times.
