The Alhambra is an Islamic fortress and palace in Granada, Spain. I used the search to look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alhambra and then to fill out more information I went to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_architecture Spain was definitely in the Middle East at the time of the Islamic world.

- Well, I tried mosques first, even though I thought that the coloring/texture made that unlikely. Also, an ancient building in the middle east would have been too easy - because of course one first thinks of classical Islamic architecture when shown such a ceiling with so many arches, together with the hint that it is in the Middle East. But there are a few features that are decidedly not classical, including the fact that some of these arches are not supported by pillars. Hence it had to be a modern building... A Google image search restricted to ".wikipedia.org" shows the source image right on the second result page: it's Baghdad International Airport. And now I really got to stop, lest I win: I'll be away for the next three weeks and cannot possibly post a new quiz! Lupo 09:02, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
