Origin and history
Chalon-sur-Saône Memorial Obelisk is a monument erected in 1788 to mark the construction of the Centre Canal. Located in the municipality of Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-Loire, it symbolizes the importance of hydraulic works of this time for regional economic development. Its location, Place de l'Obelisque, makes it a central historical landmark in the city.
Ranked a historic monument since April 23, 1947, this obelisk illustrates the technical and architectural heritage of the eighteenth century. At that time, canals played a key role in freight transport and infrastructure modernization. This type of monument also reflects the ambition of local authorities to value public achievements.
Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its protected status and precise location, between the Place de l'Obelisque and the rue de la Citadelle. Although little is known about its sponsors, its listing in heritage underscores its cultural and historical importance for Chalon-sur-Saône.
