Fotografie + English: France-000122 - Luxor Obelisk (Taken on June 21, 2014, Sony NEX-7)
- The Luxor Obelisk arrived in Paris on December 21, 1833. It was a gift from the Viceroy of Egypt and is also referred to as Cleopatra's needle.
- Three years later, on October 25, 1836, King Louis-Philippe of France had it placed in the centre of Place de la Concorde.
- The first object built in the Obelisk's current spot was a guillotine, the Place de la Revolution. It was built in 1793 that replaced a bronze statue of Louis XVI. It was renamed and became the main execution spot of the counter revolutionaries. In 1833, after the revolution was over the guillotine was removed and replaced with the Obelisk. The Obelisk is a symbol of peace, ending the revolution.
