Each week, Dave Hoerlein, tour guide and map maker for Rick Steves' guidebooks, creates a "mystery image" for the staff here at Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door to unearth. We've been having such fun with Dave's quiz that we thought we'd invite you to play along, too. (Come back every month for a new quiz.) This month's special — towers and steeples! Do you know where in the world these photos come from?
