It appears to be a lage-sized city in England. I might as well start listing them off.

That my friend, is a gross understatement. That lamp is absolutely gorgeous.

It could be Glasgow indeed. A building by Charles Rennie Mackintosh perhaps?

To me it looks like the cars are driving in the right side so it can't be england. I have a "french" feeling about those chimneys on pic one.

Ho ho.

Let's say the place has certain marked similarities...

BlackCat- it's definitely in the British Isles

There can't be that many british cities that have streets the size and shape of the first picture. Excluding the ones already guessed, the list can probably be limited to Newcastle, Liverpool, perhaps Brighton? Never been there, plus it was in the last thread. Nottingham and Sheffield have the size but I don't think they have the style. I've been to Newcastle and I don't recognise any of the buildings, so I'm gonna have a shot and guess...

Liverpool

Anyway, enough with the stone and glass, time for the soil and grass! (And stone and glass as well, as you'll probably see eventually.)

Where would you find the following piece of landscape architecture? (Sorry about the bad image quality, most of this is from amateurs.)

I it looks a bit like a memorial park kind of thing, or perhaps an old battlefield.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross from the outside. Next to it are the Chapel of Faith and the Chapel of Hope. There are two more chapels in the area but I'll save those for later, more blatant clues.

Black Cat: Is it Odense?

Spiffor: Four or five kilometres. The pictures I've posted don't show half of it, it's mostly covered in forest as the name implies.

No, it's not Odense.

Here comes a real new building - the new art museum in the town.

The former building I said was new is clearly much older. It was torn down 50-60 years ago and stored as a giant jigsaw until it was rebuild two years ago.
