    It's a bit too soon for country guessing, but if the location is not guessed in 24 hours I'll answer that ;)

    I doubt anywhere in Austria has streets that wide! It looks like Russia or Eastern Europe at least.

    Ahem.

    Blue's Clues time, Niley. The architecture - the ballistrades - might suggest Europe, though the background belies this. Is that a bust on the stone column, facing the town/city?

    Hints time it is!

    The bust is actually facing the ruins in the background. The area is part of a a World Heritage Site, and some of the guesses to date would be less than 500km from the mark.

    First off, I'm entirely ashamed that Malta is nowhere *near* where I thought it was :(

    Niley, I've exhausted North Africa (Morocco et. al.), so are we looking at southern Spain?

    Edit: sh¹t, southern Portugal perhaps?

    (And don't get me started on your "Guess the town..." post :):):))

    Registered Users Posts: 584 ✭✭✭niley


    I was surprised myself at where Malta actually was on a map (The map must be wrong ;))


    So to find this place you'd need to be looking in the general direction of the southern half of...Portugal.



    As for the guess the TVC..Fineeeeeeeee I'll post another image of that place tonight :D
