What travelers say:

The obelisk in the center of St. Peter's Square is the only non-script obelisk among many obelisks in Rome. The obelisk is a monument to the ancient Egyptian worship of the sun, in the shape of a spiked square column, gradually shrinking from the bottom up, the top shaped like a pyramid. This monument was looted from Egypt by the ancient Roman army as a spoil. Due to the looting of modern cultural relics, there are only five obelisks left in Egypt, and other obelisks are scattered around the world, such as the obelisks on the Plaza de España in Rome. Washington Monument and so on.
