The spire and the tower base have similar gold-plated details, the text and graphics are very eye-catching, the tower is very complete and very hard, the tourists here are not as many as expected, so it is very pleasant.

The Egyptian obelisk is the main sign of Concorde Square. It is very convenient to come to the Champs Elysees. The Egyptian obelisk is really carried from Egypt. It is a bit incredible and a very beautiful sign tower.

The obelisk of Concorde Square was originally placed in front of the Luxor Temple in Egypt. In 1836, the Governor of Egypt paid tribute to France as a gift. The obelisk is 23 meters high and weighs 230 tons. Its body is carved out of a block of pink granite. It is engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs to celebrate the great achievements of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II. It took three years for the Obelisk to reach France through the Nile, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Seine rivers, and three years for it to stand in the center of Concorde Square. Egypt had more than fifty obelisks, but now there are only a few left. They have been sent to other countries, and dozens of obelisks are distributed in Europe.

Apart from the pyramids, the most distinctive symbol of ancient Egypt was the obelisk (also known as the obelisk). The sun was one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt. The huge shape of the Obelisk represented the light of the sun. The top of the tower is a pyramid with pictographs engraved on all sides of the stele body.
