Santiago de Compostela. Is it a staue of St. James -scallop shell is ssignificant, I believe. Pilgrims kiss a scallop shell at the end of their journey.

Got it in one Jackdaw. It in the Plaza in front of the Cathdreal, where the pilgrimage ends. Although it's a'living statue' - busking for money in effect and nothing to do with the pilgrimage itself.
As you say, the scallop shell is the symbol of the pilgrimage although I'm not sure of the 'kissing' everyone takes on eaway with them. There's also a stone that they all lay thier hands on whihc, during the nine centuries of use, has developed the outlibe of a human hand, such is the infinitessiomally small but nevertheless real wear on the stone at every touch!
Cheers and thanks for taking the time.
Simon
PS - the other hint was in the place name . 'Praza' is Gallego (Gallician that is) for 'Plaza'

Got to be former Soviet Union but where, Kiev? I'm saying this for no better reason that I watch the cup final from a native of that fine town the other night - along with several dozen other [strike]drunks[/strike] genuine soccer enthusiasts!
Or maybe the Stalingrad memorial?

Meanwhile here's one that so hot off the disk that it's crap - maybe I'll have to go back tomorrow and try again!
Hint - the mountains in the background, that is to say on the other side of a certain body of water - they are there honest! - are the reason for the photo!
Anyone who's following my tour is banned from entering this one 'cause they know where I've been headed
