We're looking for guesses at where it might be, or some information regarding the structure in the comments below.

Got an image that you think would stump the community? Submit the photo (with a brief history) and we'll post it!*

Your guess is in the correct sea but too far West.

Funny - that was my first thought, but I googled some pics and it didn't tie up.

It's Rhodes, Greece. Here's a side view of the structure in the forground.

Don't think so, it's not high enough off the water. This is the hardest one I have seen yet, I have looked at literally thousands of pictures of the Mediterranean coast and can't find this. I am starting to think this was the only picture ever taken of this structure, either that or someone built it out of legos.....

Ok, never mind, I was wrong. I think you nailed it. GA.... I found another pic of Rhodes and I think there is no denying it. Original just has a weird angle and doesn't show structure to the right.

If you look carefully, you can see the arch behind the tower in the original picture. I saved the picture and zoomed in on it.
