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 (#352) is the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada 

Where in the World is Gary?    #353

Latitude — 45° 42′ North

Longitude — 9° 40′ East

This place is actually two (2) cities, an upper and a lower, connected by roads and a funicular. A palace on the main square contains the winged lion emblem which testifies to this town’s Venetian background.

The city’s basilica is noted for its elaborate ceilings, frescoes, and tapestries.

The castle above the town dates to 1331.
