The naming stems from a historical association with the possible burial place of the Roman general Pompey, who sought refuge in Egypt and met his demise after suffering a significant defeat against Caesar in Greece. The colossal red granite column, reaching a towering height of 25 meters, is believed to have been erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian. It now stands as the tallest ancient monument in Alexandria.
