It's Aachen Cathedral

Initially I thought there wasn't anything so historically special about the place, but then I saw that its former name was Aix-La-Chapelle, it's the place Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor, was crowned (as well as all the other ones for 600 years).

You'll laugh at how I came across it...when I saw that the picture was called "Dresden", I of course fell for the bait and did a search there first. However, the metadata copyright of the pic is from a company located in Aachen

It's also where Charlemagne is entombed. It's a real treasure trove for history buffs, as old as it is and as important as it has been (thank God it wasn't in Dresden)

Nope...

[squire]

It's not an old prison building is it or a religious thing, when you say establishment, religion adn armed forces come to mind.

Warm climate rules out north Europe but what about Australia/ NZ. It does not look very Asian or African

Bigger pic??

[lecter]

It is in fact a former prison building

Not Australia or NZ.

Unfortunately I can't find any other bigger relevant pics.

Geez.. I guess we are gonna start having to screencap our pics before posting to get rid of the metadata. Would that even work?

Actually it's kinda funny, this was the first pic I looked at the metadata for coz the misleading title pissed me off

I'm pretty sure that stuff can be deleted, though.

Prison at Port Blair, India???

Just copy the picture to the clipboard (the picture, from within a picture viewer/editor, not the file!), then paste it into a new picture, and all metadata is gone

AZ

[lecter]

Yes indeed, SitFlyer! It is the famous Andaman Islands prison that the British used to have for a whole lot of naughty people...carry on
