The Roman Emperor, Caligula, built a small area at the base of Vatican Hill. He requested that his forces go to Egypt and bring to the Vatican a pylon that was originally based in Heliopolis. The stunning obelisk, made from one huge piece of red granite, dated 3,000 years before Caligula, and weighs in at around 350 tons, was brought over as per Caligula’s request in 1586, and stands in the center of St. Peter’s Square. The obelisk is also a sundial.
