"Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --


Recommended Posts

It is place where it is hot. It's by the sea, but in an elevated position. It is an old fortified construction, with a more modern constructions on top. There are also glass windows in the upper part, but they seem to be of newer date.

 

Not many clues here.

Sicilia?

We are moving in the right direction but it is not Sicily.

 

Is this part of a military fortification, with remparts and such?

Yes.

Well, here is a clue: where except for southern Spain (which was a good idea but excluded already) do you have military fortifications with buildings like in my photo?

On every other hilltop on the north side of the mediterranean?

Not really, if you are looking at European history and after excluding Spain for me there are not so many suspects left.

 

But ok, next clue: the place has to do with religious differences (to put it mildly).

The Ottoman mosque in Rethymnon, Crete.

Rigth place! There are five mosques in Rethymon. It is the Sultan Ibrahim Mosque built on the ruins of a roman catholic church in the Venezian Fortezza (castle).

 

You are on!

Thanks, Andreas.

 

I am in the office now, without access to my photos. The weekend is coming up too, and I may be spending it away from computers, mobile telephones and other 21st century distractions.....

 

So - I will be posting something latest on Monday, if not earlier.

 

Best,

 

Jan
