In re: getting new posts to load... I was wondering whether my memory was going, since I was ready to swear I had asked if this was a bridge, and yet could find no post of mine.

Glyptothek, München, Königsplatz. In the court is the best cafe in Town, I think. Quiet, best Ambiente.

[Jona Lendering]

Yup. And a splendid museum it is, look!

Over to you Christian, I sort of expected that you would be the first to identify it. ;-)

[caiusbeerquitius]

What and where? :-)

Roman Gatehouse.... There's a second wall in the background so I want to say Theodosian Walls in Constantinople.

[caiusbeerquitius]

Nope.

Hint:
It was part of a larger structure.
