Alexandria - Pompey's Pillar
 

A
25m. red granite column constructed in honor of the Emperor Diocletian, originally from the Temple of Serapis, once a magnificent structure rivaling the Soma and the Caesareum. Nearby are subterranean galleries where the sacred Apes bulls were buried, and three sphinxes.
