"Green" building


I'd love to know where this is; it looks like an old concrete structure built in the midst of a karst formation. Photo found at Uncertain Times, but the vias track back to a photoaggregator. No matches with TinEye reverse image search. Any ideas would be appreciated (it was readers here who helped me track down the identity of Armenia's Tatev monastery).

Addendum - Identity established thanks to Manpace: "It is in Sorrento, Italy. The city is built atop seaside cliffs, with ravines like the one pictured that haven't been modernized. The photo is taken from a busy city street right in the middle of town. That is a mill, and has been abandoned for a couple centuries I think."

More pix here. Thanks, Manpace.

  1. It is in Sorrento, Italy. The city is built atop seaside cliffs, with ravines like the one pictured that haven't been modernized. The photo is taken from a busy city street right in the middle of town. That is a mill, and has been abandoned for a couple centuries I think.

    It is the loveliest gem of many in Sorrento.
