In re: getting new posts to load... I was wondering whether my memory was going, since I was ready to swear I had asked if this was a bridge, and yet could find no post of mine.

As for the photograph... Cumae?

Glyptothek, München, Königsplatz. In the court is the best cafe in Town, I think. Quiet, best Ambiente.
Quiz - Jona Lendering - 08-02-2013
Yup. And a splendid museum it is, look!
Over to you Christian, I sort of expected that you would be the first to identify it. ;-)

Roman Gatehouse.... There's a second wall in the background so I want to say Theodosian Walls in Constantinople.
