Hi g\u0127alhekk qabar kbir komunitarju, fejn il- Mostin difnu lill-g\u0127e\u017cie\u017c tag\u0127hom matul is-sekli.

Mela, l-obelisk kellu jkun mafkar marbut ma\u2019 dan il-midfen li jinsab fir-Rotunda Mostija. Barra minn hekk, irridu nifhmu wkoll g\u0127aliex Grognet ried dan l-obelisk. Tajjeb niftakru li hu kien in\u0121inier militari, u serva mal-Armata Fran\u010bi\u017ca ta\u0127t il-\u0120eneral Napuljun Bonaparte fil-kampanja militari fl-E\u0121ittu tal-1798.

Hekk, fil-Mosta, il-funtana Rumana saret \u017cew\u0121 funtani, u l-obelisk fil-funtana quddiem il-Pantheon sar obelisk \u010bentrali u separat g\u0127alih. Fuq kollox, dan l-obelisk kellu jkollu salib fil-qu\u010b\u010bata. Hekk, dak li kien pagan sar Kristjan, u segwa l-prattika Nisranija li kienet \u0121iet adottata mill-Knisja Kattolika. L-obelisk ried ifakkar li hemm kien post ta\u2019 kult u twemmin kif ukoll midfen. Ried juri l-qawwa tal-fidi kemm permezz tal-obelisk stess, imma xejn inqas bil-knisja monumentali.
