Piazza del Popolo

As you no doubt already know, this obelisk is from the ancient Egyptian city of Heliopolis, and the carving was finished off by the pharoah Rameses II on one of his days off.

And it's appropriate that the sun is glowing behind it since Heliopolis means "city of the sun" in Greek.
