#57:


... was the Interior Ministry building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Of course I didn't know that at the time; it just looked like a cool building. - after all, we had been told by the Australian Ambassador "On no account photograph anything you might be inclined to bomb during a war - government buildings, bridges, palaces etc. If you do, you risk summary arrest". Ooops.

#58:



... is the cathedral at Burgos, Spain. Another stop in my callow youth when my interest in historical buildings was limited to Westminster Abbey and similar Brit places. Another stop where I thought "that looks interesting; wonder what it is?". I went in and figured you could fit Westminster Abbey into it about 5 times over. Wow! There is more to old stuff than Britain!

Quite possibly he lived in multiple places, but my pic was from Cordoba.
I really should have paid more attention to the guide as to why this place was significant enough to have the plaque.

#55 Vanuatu parliament.

Correct. And #54 is the 'Boot Hill' cemetery at Virginia City, Nevada (a historic mining town - wild west - yaaaaahoooo....)

The bar or the castle ?

The bar or the castle ?

Neither! Umberto Ecco is the clue!

Neither! Umberto Ecco is the clue!

I keep thinking of "The Name of the Rose" which has been both a film and TV series. But it doesn't look quite right to be Roccascalegna Castle which Wikepedia assures me was the filming location for the tv show.
