This London landmark commemorates the event which finally brought the Rennaissance to the English capital. It was designed by the same architect whose much more famous symbol of the capital's renewal is a stone's throw away.

Nelson's Column?

-- Nephele

Good guess… But not right, I'm afraid, Nephele!

The column you're looking for on this occasion was built 166 years before the more famous one commemorating Nelson's victory at the battle of Trafalgar. However, while less well known, it has the distinction - at a height of 202 feet - of being the world's tallest isolated stone column; the height is significant because it's exactly the distance from the point at which the event it marks began...

D'uh! I should've guessed from your clue regarding the famous architect. Would that be Christopher Wren? And would that be his monument to the rebuilding of London following the Great Fire?

Since I'm pretty sure I'm right, I'll post the next one!

Name This Thing and Where It's Found

Hint

Hailed as a working "time machine,"
The biggest of its kind --
In awe, I wait to learn of all
The answers that it'll find.

-- Nephele

Confidence indeed - and rightly so; it was, indeed, the landmark known to most simply as The Monument. As you rightly also say, it was conceived by Sir Christopher Wren, who also designed the much-more-famous italianate Cathedral of St Paul, about half a mile from the site of The Monument.

Would your pic be the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland?

And, if it is, they've yet to really get to grips with the concept of "bigger on the inside" for time machines!

You got it!



Ha! They need a lesson from a certain Time Lord...

-- Nephele

did they not use that in the movie Angels & Demons?

This castle was the inspiration for Disney's famous Sleeping Beauty castle, but despite it's appearance it is relatively new, being built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria in the late 19th century.

Name it!
