Oh Okay, I already hinted it was a wall. Another hint is that it's in the Balkans.

It was rebuilt multiple times throughout it's history, but dates back to Ancient Greece.

I am tempted to say that it's the wall across the Corinthian isthmus. Does that count as Balkan?

It is the Hexamilion wall. My next hint was "It was famous for never actually working."
Over to you Jona.

That's the Babylon fortress next to the Coptic museum in Cairo. No idea what the ancient name was though.

According to google search the original name might mean "Babylon in Egypt?"
Also probably a lot of it is original, the Theodosian walls still stand in many places because the layers of Clay Bricks absorbed shock from earthquakes, although I agree that in the photo it appears to be part-reconstruction.

Not too difficult this one but I'm away from home and am limited to a fraction of my photolibrary.
