[Zumba]

Is it a fishing village? And is the building we're looking for famous in some way?
It is a town, not of the major ones, but it is a town.

The building is well know in town for its historical value.

[Roy Mathers]

South of the country?

[Zumba]

I think you've hit the jackpot there Monty!

[Roy Mathers]

Is the building the Nordmore Museum by any chance?

[Zumba]

Mellemverftet ?
WOW that was a good guess, I'm surprised you got there that quick!!

[monty28428]

Well you gave a few hints that pointed me in the right direction.

I've got to hit the road so I'll leave it open to the first taker.

[Roy Mathers]

I'll step in, if no-one minds, with this one -

[Tumak]

Somewhere in Germany, probably?

[Roy Mathers]

Probably not!

[Tumak]

Oh. Sorry. :)

[Zumba]

is it in Europe?

[Roy Mathers]

It is.

[Tumak]

Austria?

[Roy Mathers]

No sir.

[Tumak]

Holland?

[Zumba]

UK?

[Roy Mathers]

Holland?

No.

UK?

No.

[Tumak]

Last guess. Gotta go.

Normandy or close by.
That is all I can think of.
Appears to be German Uniform.
Only other thing I can think of is location of reburial of a million german soldiers.

[Roy Mathers]

It is not 'Normandy or close by' I'm afraid.

[Tumak]

It is, is it not, a German soldier?
Is it in the UK?

[Zumba]

Italy?

[Tumak]

Somebody get this, I gotta go...

[Roy Mathers]

I thought you'd had your last guess! :D

No, it is not a German soldier and it is not in the UK.

[Roy Mathers]

Italy?

Not Italy.

[PeteJaffa]

Barcelona, Montjuic, Castell de Montjuic, Museo Militar

[Tumak]

I believe you are correct. I just figured out it was probably a Spanish soldier.
TTFN

[Roy Mathers]

This is one of your tricks Pete - you lurk around in the background and then pounce in with the correct answer! :D Do you know the place, or did you have to search?

[PeteJaffa]

This is one of your tricks Pete - you lurk around in the background and then pounce in with the correct answer! :D Do you know the place, or did you have to search?

haha thanks Roy. I had to search, I thought it all looked very Spanish and went from there. spain+statue+soldier

WOW, was this tower free standing? :)

[glhs509]

WOW, was this tower free standing? :)
Yup, although I believe they had some guy wires stabilizing it after reaching the full height...each section (approx. 25cm in height) was put together by the kids that had gathered for the Lego festivities.

[Zumba]

It is the monument right in front of the Panteon, in Rome.
I believe the square is called Piazza della Rotonda.
