A tour of the Pompey's Pillar in ancient Alexandria | Roman victory column | Trip to Egypt 2021

Pompey's Pillar is a Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, Egypt. The freestanding column is the largest erected outside the capitals of Rome and Constantinople. The column height, including the base and Corinthian capital, is 26.85 meters. The monolithic column shaft, made of red Assuan granite, is 20.46 meters high, with a diameter of 2.71 meters at the base. The weight of the shaft is estimated at 285 tons, making it one of the largest monoliths of antiquity as well as the world's largest monolithic columns.
Pompey's Pillar is located in the southern part of the city, between Lake Mariut and the Mediterranean Sea, near the catacombs and the Arab cemetery - an area now called Amoud El-Sawary ("Column of the Horseman"), because the Arabs believed that there was an equestrian statue on the column. The Column of Pompey rises on the remains of an ancient wall, a mound covered with architectural fragments and rubble, above the ruins of the famous Serapeum.
