ooooh, I think I saw a documentary about this or around this. Is this one of the roadways that Greeks/Romans had/built/used during one of their expansion wars?

Or, was it something to do with ET's using this as their runways to land their flying saucers ?

It was something unexplainable ... I saw on one of the Ancient Aliens documentaries.

Russian orthodox church at Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, Germany.

A quick winner! Mathildenhöhe is very interesting place to visit not really for the church but for those interested in the Art Nouveau/Jugendstil style.

"The Russian revival style church with gold Onion domes was built between 1897–1899 by the architect Leon Benois, and used as a private chapel by the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, whose wife Alexandra was born in Darmstadt"

I was thinking Russia for #60, purely on the basis of the star on their helmets/caps.

Close enough. Soviet built memorial to
The Great War in Almaty , Khazakstan. A caucasian, un-Khazak-like Russian is forward and protecting the various Soviet states behind.

I was about to post the answer - found only by cheating via the 'Net'. But I was really surprised by the location. I thought it would be somewhere in London or Oxford or some other big town. Anyway I claim part of the prize because you forgot to mention that the plaque is on the Town Hall which was once the Star Inn.

A Gothic Cathedral - not in Germany. It took 'only' around 50 years to build which is very 'quick' for this type of building.
