0.35% of the population of this city are Romani.
Most European cities seem to have about 35% population of those scum.
I suspect the answer is Budapest although I don't know the building.
Buda and Pest are two separate towns and each word has its own etymology. Buda may come from Slavic 'Voda', even though Hungarian is not a Slav language,
Just a guess.

Not Budapest or Belgrade, both are at the wrong end of the alphabet.

Don Frane Bulic statue, outside the Croatian National Archives. He was an archeologist.
OH if correct

My neck of the woods, though not my backyard as we don't get sea bergs like this off PEI. This place is known for them.

Bit of a guess, are we around St Johns Harbour.

Correct Province, but not St Johns

The scenery is a bit indistinct, apart from the 'berg ('cos it's often foggy round there), so here's another view of that stretch of water from the opposite direction

Nope.
Bergs are mainly east coast; it's the cold Labrador current which brings them down and helps them persist.

No; it's Newfoundland rather than Labrador.

Tricky one, but I can almost convince myself we are at Battle Harbour.

There are a lot of similarities..the actual place is also an island, but off Newfoundland not Labrador. In fact you have to cross 6 islands to get to the one the first photo was taken from

Got it I think, the second pic could well be Main Street just to the north of Twillingate and a bit west of Stockleys Pond. I can't find the name of the island but it's roughly 50 miles to the north of Gander International.

I can go to bed now!
