The Obélisque d'Arles ("Arles Obelisk") is a 4th-century Roman obelisk, erected in the center of the Place de la République, in front of the Hôtel de Ville (town hall) in Arles, France. Description
The first town hall in Arles was a medieval building, between to the Palais des Podestats on the Plan de La Cour, and the clock tower, which dated back to the early 16th century.
