16/16.

The hardest one for me was #15. For all of the rest that I didn't know for sure, I was able to eliminate all of the other possibilities through other evidence in photos.

13 out of 16.

I missed the leaning tower of Pisa and the Coliseum - both I have seen in person - and one of the baseball stadiums

15 of 16. I missed Wrigley Field. What would I know about baseball parks?

In actuality I guessed(Dodger) it was anything but Wrigley--I thought there were some apartments that were built almost on top of the ballpark where people who had the right apartment could see the home games from the apartment--didn't see any apartment building, in the picture, that fit that description.

The apartment buildings are across from the ball park...look at the top of the picture and the right side. Some have bleachers or chairs on their roofs and, yes you can watch the game from some of those buildings. That whole area around Wrigley has turned VERY expensive and has been for quite awhile. We used to see lots of pictures of the fans sitting "UP" there. In fact I seem to remember a player from a team (don't remember which team) wasn't playing one day and they spotted him sitting 'over' there watching the game. Caused quite a stir and he got fined or something.

I'm a VERY long time Cubs fan who was born in Chicago.
