Travelbug's GTC-Building only

This thread is designed to test you guy's knowledge of individual buildings. I will post a picture of a building, it will be interesting and maybe not a skyscraper (so you can get your history books out).

Your job, should you choose to accept it is to name the country and the city.

1 point for the country
3 points for the city
5 points for both country and city in one guess.

POINTS

DesertPunk: 27
Kazan Resident: 25
Travelbug: 15
Snowman159: 15
El Norte: 8
San Miguel: 4

For Reference and for the people who are that wrong about copyrighted information on these threads:

All photos, unless stated, posted by me within these threads are from flickr. Although I am not passing them off as my own nor am I doing this for profit so I do not believe I am infringing anyone's copyright unless the years I spent at law school were a waste.


Good Luck

Picture Number 1:

Well it was something you mentioned about looking out for particular buildings in a skyline Kazan. I think people will go for it. If they don't then hey I tried!

And No to all thus far.

Nope. I will give you a clue. The city is twinned with a city in Sao Paulo state.
