Another obelisk still standing, but of unknown date, is usually referred to as the Column of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, after the emperor who restored it in the 10th cenniry AD. It is also sometimes called the Brazen Column, because it is thought to have once been sheathed in a case of bronze. Its dilapidated state owes much to the fact that young Janissaries would routinely scale it as a test of their bravery.

Located in Sultanahmet Square, the Örme Column was originally built in the 4th or 5th century, fell into ruin, and was repaired by Constantine VII in 944. The Column was built of dressed stone, is 20,68 meters high and rests on a 1,60 meter high pedestal.
