That´s close enough. It is a Roman vivarium for fish near Antipolis. Over to you :-)
You can see it from above here, even the little sign they put up can be seen (little white square)..
I have a few mor pics I´ll post on the weekend. :-)

I like the idea of guessing sculptures from small fragments. Sometimes you immediately know it; sometimes you don't. I wonder if anyone recognizes which famous sculpture this little scene comes from. What is the name of the sculpture?

You picked rather a well-known scene, Miha. But I suppose, either you recognize it, or you don't! Well spotted, Michael.

So who picks up the baton - me, for identifying the monument, or Jurjen, for identifying the scene?
