    Congratulations, amal81. Right Building. It is indeed The Craven Cottage, London, England. You get 5 points for that.

    This little piece of football history has been the home of Fulham FC since 1896. It's located between a park and the River Thames, and it owes its name to the residence of a certain William Craven, built in 1780 exactly where today we see the center of the pitch.

    A new cottage was built in 1905 (in a corner of the stadium), along with the red-brick styled Stevenage Road Stand that we see on the picture. Having celebrated its centenary in 2005, the Stevenage Road Stand had its name changed to Johnny Haynes Stand, a legendary player for the club that died in that same year. It still features the original wooden seats.

    The club's board of directors seems to be looking for a new home, despite fans' protests. Let's just hope Craven Cottage doesn't end up like Highbury, which will be redeveloped and converted into apartments, following the construction of the new Arsenal Stadium in Ashburton Grove. Out with the new and in with the old, I say.

    But hey, it's not all bad news... at least Brazil crushed Argentina last Sunday in the new stadium's (official) inaugural match.

    Say hello to Mystery Building #25:

    Hmm, I'm gonna guess a country: Chile.

    I don't know ... that area just reminds me of Chile for some reason. The stone building I guess makes me think of something from Easter Islands or Macchu Picchu.

    @MayorVieira: even though I am not an Arsenal fan...I liked the highbury more than Emirates stadium, the arsenal players are finding it hard to feel at home at the new stadium. Brazil is always the stronger team...they will always kick Aregentina's back side!

    I think that's a destroyed abbey in the U.K.  Don't have a hope of guessing which one.

    Hint:

    This building is located in a country that borders one of the countries guessed, at least.

    I can't post any further clues without giving it away... and I think the last one was already easy enough. If you don't want this game to die, you'll just have to keep guessing. Eventually someone will get it right, I'm sure.
