Two correct answers. Francis Hagan was right, because this is indeed in Pergamon. Duncan Campbell, however, was more specific. It is indeed the foundation of the Altar of Zeus - the "throne of Satan" from the Book of Revelation. This is the more familiar sight.
So now it's Duncan's turn.

Never seen that before. Is that the museum in Pergamon?

I suppose the idea is to show a picture that people might have a chance of recognizing! I toyed with posting an aerial view of an Antonine fort, but -- since it would just be a green field -- that wouldn't be very fair.
What about this one? Although it's a world famous site, you might only have seen this bit as a diagram in a well-known book.

Any ideas?
