It's an amazing sight. In the middle of a small square, surrounded by low-rise buildings, stands a column about 1600 years old. The locals just live in this historic place, not paying attention to it!

A little history: On three sides, christograms are carved inside the medallions, and from the north, on the fourth side, two winged geniuses (angels) holding the globe are depicted. Above them, on the plinth, there is a dedicatory inscription in Latin. Initially, the letters were bronze, but today only empty holes remain from them, through which the text can still be made out. It says here: "Take a look at this statue and the forum of Marcian, built by the prefect Tatian."

The oldest column of Byzantine times, which is almost 1,500 years old. It's a miracle that it was preserved.
