Name That Skyline - Picture Game

Try this

I don't know the town, but that's got to be Italy.

 

[Pkrd]

It is Italy.

 

[tracer bullet]

I was thinking "obviously" northern Italy near the Alps, but - it's not quite right. I've been poking around and... it might be the island Sicily.

So I'll try narrowing it down with "somewhere in Sicily".

 

[Pkrd]

Yep, someone in Sicily.

Enna?

 

[Pkrd]

Enna?

Head East from Enna

 

[tracer bullet]

I'm stuck. Have perused mountain-top towns in Sicily and various other Sicily travel sites. I want to visit now, but can't make a match.

 

[beermanpete]

Paterno?

 

[Pkrd]

Paterno?

Too far east

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yep, someone in Sicily.

I took your "someone" (as opposed to "somewhere") as a clue. The only person I knew of with the name of a town in Sicily was Don Corleone, but it turned out Corlone's west of Enna. Eventually I Googled "Sicily person town" and got to Centuripe, a small town that looks like a person from the air.

And, @beermanpete, Centuripe is in the province of Enna.

 

[Pkrd]

You got it DB. Someone indeed.

These are from 2017. One has more of the of the masked building and the other has more skyline in it:

The Senyera. We're somewhere in the territory of the Crown of Aragon.

 

[D.B.Moody]

There were flags everywhere and people were parading. The parliament had (perhaps not quite according to Hoyle) enacted that a referendum for independence be held October 1st.

Catalonia

 

[D.B.Moody]

Catalonia is correct. Waiting for the city.

 

[catalanotte]

Casa Batllo in Barcelona.

I did a Google search for the phone number of the sign on the building? The area code was a 9?4 and it started with 880. A little trial and error to find that 934 was a the only one that worked in Catalonia, and with the 880 I got a very nearby address. Is this a legit find with Google or too much?

Kind of funny, search turned up this place.

Another Gaudi

 

[D.B.Moody]

Barcelona it is. You're up @catalanotte. Does your name suggest Catalan heritage?

Sicilian, but the Catalan root of the name is likely a Spanish influence from many years of occupation.

Hangul on the building signage so it's somewhere in Korea. Seoul would be too obvious a choix for Korea, so maybe a corp HQ somewhere near Pusan or Ulsan

Pyongyang, North Korea. Hotel of Doom.

I saw some documentary on it a while back and almost used it here.

You got it @tracer bullet . You’re up.

Let's try something different.

 

[catalanotte]

Guessing Iceland, just not sure where. Just saw massive waterfalls like this in the opening scene if Last Kingdom Season 5.

 

[Andres Falconer]

I believe this is the Brazilian side of Iguaçú (Iguazu, Iguassu) Falls.

Nailed it

 

[Andres Falconer]

Iguassu Falls are absolutely majestic and worth a visit. I was there twice - in my childhood in the seventies, and for work in 2001. Here's my submission. It may be obvious. Or maybe not. But that was a clue.
