Built in 1859 the Orthodox Russians were given permission to build their church in the Byzantine Muscovite style. It's in Geneva.

[russianrobert]

But not as friendly. The city has a well known place where you can find plenty of guys like that.

I can't find a large image of the city so here is another clue...........

[russianrobert]

Correct Ken. Ekaterinburg is a very interesting city. The church in the picture was built as a memorial to the Czars family who were assasinated near the city.

The city was also known as the crime capital of Russia in the 90's.

It also sits on the divide between Asia and Europe.

Your go...........

[LeungKen]

Ballarat

[LeungKen]

Correct.

Well at least it lasted an hour...

Silly me for thinking I could sneak that one past you...

[Old Croc]

The street signs indicated the country, the weather told me which state, it just took a while to find the right town hall.

Haven't been there myself.
