The church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva is located in Piazza della Minerva, right next to the Pantheon. In front of the church stands the famous "Elefantino" by the artist Bernini.
The beautiful obelisk, which is carried by an elephant, was found in the garden of the Dominican monastery in 1665 and erected here. It probably came to Rome from Egypt in the 1st century.
