Cleopatra’s Needle

In 1879 The Obelisk was dismantled from Alexandria, Egypt to gift it to the United States.

The Obelisk, also known as Cleopatra's Needle, arrived in Central Park more than 130 years ago. Standing between the Great Lawn and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Obelisk's history is rich and interesting, but one of the most fascinating parts of its story is its journey from Egypt to Central Park.

Moving the 3500 years old monument from Egypt to the U.S. was an incredible engineering accomplishment. It measures 69 feet from base to tip and 8 feet wide at its base, and weighs around 200 tons.
Its pedestal and steps are 27 feet high and weigh 50 tons. The Obelisk had to be lowered in Alexandria, moved to a ship with the aid of parallel beams, unloaded in New York, transported to its new site, and raised again.

The Obelisk reached the banks of the Hudson River in 1880, and a special railroad was built to transport it to Central Park. It took 19 days to cross the 86th Street Transverse Road, and another 20 days to move it from Fifth Avenue to its current home—a blizzard hindering the process. During this time, New Yorkers were thrilled with the arrival of this piece of history. Many visited the Obelisk during its transport with hammers and chisels hoping to get a piece of the stone—requiring a guard to protect it around the clock.

the Obelisk is the oldest outdoor monument in New York City and the oldest man-made object in Central Park.
