    Right I suppose I found this kind of by accident. It's the University of Coimbra.

    I.e. I had not identified it as a university. I thought it might be an episcopal palace. I can't find exactly when this building attained its present form. Style wise I was thinking Baroque, so possibly 17th century. Not sure, but that was what I was looking for.

    Very well got. It is the University of Coimbra indeed, a beautiful city.

    Never been to Portugal, actually.

    Now, this one has some obvious and less obvious clues. It's certainly not a place of Global renown, so that's not an avenue to pursue.

    Not much to work on for me. I think I see a Brazilian flag, something that could be a minaret, and a fountain that is not very distinct in any way.

    It could also be a Jamaican flag perhaps.

    You're right about the flag. That is the most obvious clue.

    As for the fountain, there is a clue there too.

    If you can connect these two, that will bring you a lot further.

    Okay, I went looking for Brazilian and Argentinian border in a park like this because of the colors in the fountain. No luck until I remembered that Uruguay actually has those stripes as well.

    What an interesting location. The Peace Border or International Plaza. A location with a national border separating Rivera, Uruguay, and Santana do Livramento, Brazil!

    Thanks for your encouraging comments and thanks Muizer for such an inspired riddle.

    I am a bit out of unique ideas but rather post something than keep stalling the game.

    It is not Atlantic City. I am expecting the name of the thing in the picture.

    It is Pacific Park amusement park that is part of the full structure, Santa Monica Pier. Very impressive if you remembered a single episode from a series featuring that location. Your turn!

    EDIT: This location is quite meticulously modeled into GTA V as Del Perro Pier.

    The bridge does seem oddly familiar. I will have to think about it though, see if anything pops into my head.

    I don't see any image at all. I was just wondering why I should know season 2 of Lucifer if I go to cinema
