It was Hatshepsut who built the giant obelisks. She commissioned several obelisks during her reign in ancient Egypt, including the largest known obelisk, which is now known as the Unfinished Obelisk. Cleopatra, on the other hand, did not build any giant obelisks herself, but she may have had some restored or relocated.
There are three obelisks with that name (constructed, not sculpted), one each in London, Paris, and New York City. They are genuine obelisks built in Egypt more than a thousand years before Cleopatra was born. The London obelisk is from Heliopolis, Egypt, built around 1450 BC and reconstructed in Westminster in 1878. The New York obelisk was also built in Heliopolis, circa 1475 BC, and reconstructed in Central Park in 1881. The Paris obelisk is known as the Luxor obelisk, is from Luxor and was reconstructed in the Place de la Concorde in 1836.
