        Your turn.

            This place is somehow connected to the last picture. Where is it? Bonus points if you explain the connection too!

              LOL, but I think you'll find it is at +51° 30' 27.68", -0° 7' 40.84"

                  Not even a guess?

                  A clue to the connection with the Trafalgar square lions: The lions were casted from what?

                    I presume from your clue that it was a bronze cannon foundry or forererie somewhere in France, but I can't get anywhere with that.

                      The bronze lions were cast from captured French cannons at the battle of Trafalgar.

                      New clue: Who was emperor of the "First French Empire" at the time of the battle of Trafalgar, and more important for this matter, where did he die? Now it should be easy

                        Ok, presumably where bonaparte lived in exile on St Helena

                            OK, you may find this easy if you know the place but hellishly difficult otherwise, so I'll give 2 clues:

                            1. The building bottom centre is a well-known hotel with a view (and some hellish man-eating mosquitoes when I stayed there)

                            2. The large complex on the right is a military academy

                                Think of siderurgy and UNESCO
