Contest #48 Answer: Marvao, Portugal

Boy, Karel is really throwing some tough ones. The last two have really separated the wheat from the chaff. The 3D layer was really throwing a curve.

The answer is Marvao, Portugal, a place I can say with all honesty I have never heard of before this contest (note to self, when in Portugal, visit Marvao.)

The castle in Marvao was built in the 13th century, and is an excellently preserved example of the period.

Storming the ramparts for this one:

  • Kieth M
  • PK
  • Pan
  • ACG
  • Skip (Austin, TX)
  • jvo
  • Davis S
  • Brian T
  • Ewen

This one also set a record for incorrect answers. You are free to guess, but take a second to check the spot on the map first.
