I was thinking that its the side of the university, but then again it also looks like a building around the corner from the opera house. Might need a sec on this one :)

...edit. Better pic. University. They always hang ugly advertisements on it

Ok...hmm. I think you got me with this one. I know for a fact that I've walked past this a lot, but drawing a blank.

Is this the same building, but different angle?

The Citadel park is often overlooked, but there's a lot of stuff there, not to mention very important in Polish history...and British etc.

It's actually not really that important in Polish history - much more important in Allied/German history than anything. It's the reason why the park is so neglected these days.

Silly me. Got wrapped up in memories... Where am I?

Not a valid riddle answer ;) We'll just block it out and say it doesn't exist, and there's no history at that site. We'll move on to the topic.

That's the old town of Lichen Stary. I have a pic of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lichen posted there ;)

Thank you. Perhaps this will be easier. In what city am I? Great, what is the name of this castle I'm standing behind?

Spot on ;) Was it the "sea" part that gave it away?

I'm American. The top looks like a castle. Don't I get away with that?

I'd post Malbork (my fav), bu it's too easy. Try this:

Actually, no. I visited Kołobrzeg many times as a child and once as an adult, 2 years ago. I thought you made a spelling mistake! :):) Clever trick!!

True, I'd have to think real hard about where I may have seen it. The bricks in the back may have helped, but doubt it :)

You used a nice perspective! It doesn`t look so impressive in reality.
