Quote:Sparta?
Yes, this is Sparta!
(part of the Spartan acropolis, in fact - although I couldn't be more exact than that since there were no signs anywhere when I visited - or people either. It was completely deserted...)
Over to you, Byron...

A bit like the acropolis of Sami...bushes and ruins...and some goats!

OK, here´s a more difficult one, I think.
What does the name of the ancient site which was situated under and around this medieval structure, mean?

It looks like it's in germany... then again germany has a lot of castles, so that still doesn't help me.
Quiz - Vindex - 01-01-2013
It reminds me of the castle opposite Koblenz which is always aillumated during the "Rihine in Flames" festival but I have NO IDEA what it's called. I thought that was a monastery.

Hint: It oversees one of the four rivers first to flow into the Danube from Danube´s right side.

Bratislava castle
EDIT: Nope that's not it...
2nd EDIT: I'm stumped I can't find anything on my Roman maps in the Morava.

The Danube springs are in Germany, if that helps.

Quote:It oversees one of the four rivers first to flow into the Danube from Danube´s right side.I'm guessing -- and this is entirely guess-work! -- that you've said "one of the four" (sneaky quizmaster's technique #1) because it's the fourth one, so let's see where that gets us.
The fourth right-side tributary is the River Paar, and the last town you would see if you sailed round from the Danube would be Manching. But I can't see any medieval structures nearby!
Quote:What does the name of the ancient site which was situated under and around this medieval structure, mean?Oh, Christian. You ask the most convoluted questions! :dizzy: (We really got tied in knots with your Peutinger Table question last time!) If I have hit the correct location, I'm afraid I have no idea what Manching means!
