    It looks kind of like the University of Munich but I am not sure that is correct.  From the Flora I would guess somewhere in Italy or Greece.

    Hint: one of you mentioned the correct city.

    My 2nd guess would be the National Archives, but I think that's on a corner with a street right in front.

    Aetheling is close enough – the Glyptothek is one of the buildings.  The area is the Königsplatz in Munich.I took the picture in 2002 when I was there (actually three photos, which I just recently merged using Hugin).  I had thought that the area was constructed by the Nazis based on information I heard at that time, but I now see that Nazis built only some temples at this site which were later destroyed in 1947.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsplatz,_Munich
