    I don't know where this is but it looks like it could be some really old Greco-Roman architecture that has been overgrown. Maybe Mediterranean

    Athens? City in the background looks like it could fit but I really have no idea how to narrow this down so its just a wild guess

    No it is not athens.

    Clue: This place was one of the more famous polises outside of greece herself.

    Correct! Maybe the steepness of this particular theatre gave this one away..

    There aren't a great many well-known poleis outside of Greece and Pergamon is fairly high on the list.

    I have really no idea what I am looking at. Prison is the first thing that comes to mind.

    It had an educational purpose.

    That is correct, built by the Nazis as an educational centre to train future leaders. I passed it while hiking one of the Eifelsteig stages.

    I guess I wasn't that wrong to mistake a Nazi "educational center" for a prison.

    I thought it could be military barracks or some other military facility. Also guessed at Germany. But searching for that turned up nothing.

    Looks like a triangular fortification in the front, buildings in the front look American, the ones at the port a little less so but could still be. The fort seems to be on an elevation. Can't really see anything which would allow me to narrow it down much further so I'm stuck.

    I originally wanted to say Florida or somewhere SE USA but the lack of palm trees made me second guess that.
