    Mosque of Uqba (Arabic: جامع عقبة‎), also known as the Great Mosque of Kairouan (جامع القيروان الأكبر), is one of the most important mosques in Tunisia, situated in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Kairouan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque_of_Uqba

    Just a case of punching in North African Mosque square tower....

    This is the the "Tower of Hercules", the oldest still existing lighthouse in Europe the world, built presumably under Trajan, near A Coruña, Galicia. The guy in front is Breogán, a celtic chieftain.

    What's the name of the peak?

    That'll be quite difficult, so I give a clue: named after a famous person.

    (yeah, that's the same mountain).

    White tower of Thessaloniki, I recognised it straight away.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    Yep! A great symbol of Thessaloniki and Makedonia, in general. Although it's been built by Venetians.. EDIT: I see now that it may has been built by Ottomans..interesting..
