8-word Alert: Our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with 8 non-hint words is the best practice.

I’m not as knowledgeable as I’d like to be re European landmarks. 1/3 correct responses.
Much to my surprise, I got this because aqueduct made me think of Rome and water, the hints jk referred to. I couldn’t think of anything else.
I’ll try TWO right
I was stumped. Maybe the aqueduct and statue of Oceanus parts of the clue will get them thinking of a water feature. Didn’t help me. I’ll say 1/3
I’ll say 0/3 today
