    Congratulations, Skyfire2275. Right city. The building is located in Cartagena, Colombia. You get 3 points for that.

    Keep guessing, though... you got the building wrong.

    Even though this breaks the forum games' two post rule, as I understand the rules of this game, I am allowed o post again anyways...

    Argh! Thats a view FROM the Hotel. I misunderstood the caption! 3.gif

    In that case, a bit of research turns up that this building is called Las Bóvedas (not sure about the O, my browser doesn't display it unless I babelfish the site to English, so it mught be wrong). It used to be a barracks but is now a gift shop/market for the tourists.

    Congratulations, Skyfire2275. Right building. It is indeed Las Bóvedas, Cartagena, Colombia. You get 5 points for that.

    Conceived for military purposes, this is the last structure built by the Spanish within the city walls before the independence of Colombia. It also served as a prison and has recently been renovated to fit souvenir shops, bars and art galleries.
    The building features 47 archways and 23 vaults (bóvedas).

    I did the same thing and gave up after a while of turning up nothing. I think we need a hint! 3.gif
