In the centre of the square stands the Luxor Obelisk, a monument over 3,000 years old that was brought from the Temple of Luxor in Egypt. This obelisk was a gift from the viceroy of Egypt, Mehmet Ali, to France and was installed in the square in 1836. It is 23 metres high and weighs over 200 tonnes.
