This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#313) is Masada, Israel 

Where in the World is Gary?    #314

Latitude — 42° 38′ North

Longitude — 18° 06′ East

This place is known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic.”

Pearl of the Adriatic

It has some of the best-preserved walls in Europe.

City Walls

George Bernard Shaw described the city as “heaven on earth” after his visit. The historic, walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its massive fortifications attest to its strategic importance.

Fortifications

The fictional city of Kings Landing, on the HBO series, Game of Thrones,  is set here.
