Guess the Location!
Nope, not a museum... thanks for asking though
I think you'll find it is now.Nope, not a museum... thanks for asking though
lol... I think by it's proper name it is not listed as a museum... and may be serving dual purposes as such... but it was certainly something else to begin with... never thought of it as a museum when we were in there... but now that you mention it... hmmmm!
I’ll be away from the internet until later today so will check back in when I get a chance. If there are no guesses by then I’ll post an exterior view of the building that houses these, among other, opulent artifacts.
Hagia Sophia in Istanbul?
Nope... too far south.
But here’s another partial hint from the outside.

I think it's St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia.
It is indeed! Well done, @Shaw
There are numerous sites in St. Pete’s but this was certainly one of the more interesting ones, and imo one of the mousy sees for anyone visiting this city.
Over to you.
Good link, @stagor ... and yes the opening sentence in the wiki entry was how it currently serves as a museum. Oddly, when we were there we still had the feeling that it could be used as an active cathedral, not just a museum...

I'm guessing somewhere near the French Spanish border on the Catalan side?

OK, here's a clue: The church in the centre of the photo is the Església de Santa Maria
Perhaps famous for the manufacturing of cork?

Lots of churches with that name, but the towers are all different on the ones I could see...

Another clue: Not far from the Autopista del Mediterráneo highway.
