Guess where this is?

let them search a bit.

I'll post it later tonight if no one has found.

OK, it's the Forte Stella in Portoferraio on the Elba island, off of the Tuscany coast, Italy. The celeb is of course Napoleon.

Here's another island for another celeb.

I thought the name was Forte Falcone. However, I'll let you off If Napoleon had been English-speaking, he could have said the famous palindrome "Able was I ere I saw Elba", which, unlike many palindromes, is word-for-word.

Are we still in the Med?

The Forte Stella is the one with the lighthouse: the round tower you see on your picture to the left of the buildings.

see it from another angle: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache...hl=en&start=15

Forte Falcone was Napoleon's HQ for a while AFAIK.
