If you're making a list for the ZA, add an extra 3-bar radiator. It might get a little cold in winter.Fighting Napoleon they decided to make a chain of artillery forts around the coast. They were redundant and near obsolete before they were completed. Many are now houses - so many the unconverted are now protected.
My plan for the zombie apocalypse starts with my local Martello Tower.
You should at least tell us what we are looking at and where it is.

Reminded me a bunker with a cannon in Gorliz, Biscay, Basque Country.
Franco was obsessed that after WWII allies will fight him, so he ordered a set of bunkers with cannons in the bay of biscay.
The invasion, never happened, so the cannons were disbanded or vandalized.
This Gorliz's cannon is a nice walk, there is a seafront near a beach, then cross up hill a forest to arrive to a lighthouse, which is very close to the bunker

What I like about this building in Bombay, the Antilia, is that it is the residence of one family (and their 600 servants)
Awfully ugly
reminded me the Bilbao Exhibition Center, which by the way is not in Bilbao
Pretty ugly!

I can see ideograms on a lot of the buildings, so I'd guess rather somewhere in China(?).
