  • Origin: De Bosset Bridge in Argostoli, Kefalonia

Erected in 1813 by the Swiss engineer Charles‑Philippe De Bosset, the obelisk stands at the entrance of the iconic stone bridge that transformed life in Argostoli. Built during the British administration, the bridge connected the town with the opposite shore of Koutavos Lagoon, opening new routes for trade and daily travel. The obelisk was placed as a monument of gratitude and engineering pride, bearing inscriptions that honored the project’s completion. Today, it remains a quiet sentinel of Kefalonia’s past — a reminder of resilience, craftsmanship, and the island’s layered history. This piece captures that legacy, bringing a timeless symbol of Argostoli into your home.
