17th century sod church Grafarkirkja in Northern Iceland.

The church was desecrated soon after its construction and was used for a long time as a tool holder.

Despite this, the National Museum of Iceland completely restored the building to its original condition in 1950.

Must have rained hard then? But no, indeed a tourist location where friend is visiting but not San Diego.

Yes, it did. The businesses that were built in Mission Valley were built on the San Diego "River," which isn't really more than a small creek... UNTIL it rains a LOT, then it floods.

I knew it wasn't SD, I was being a bit facetious.

Looks like Venice, but that's too obvious.

My guess would be St. Petersburg Russia (aka: Venice of the north), but the poster said that a friend was visiting there recently and I don't know if outsiders can get there right now because of the sanctions.

So, my guess is Amsterdam.....

Where is it and how did this village get up there?

Castellfollit de la Roca, located in NE corner of Spain (Catalonia), about 2 hour drive from Barcelona. Dates back to the Middle Ages, with the first documented evidence of the village’s existence found in 13th-century records. The strategic location atop the cliff provided a defensive advantage, attracting early settlers seeking protection, therefore "castle on the rock" (no clue how it got there, you build it they will come?).

Correct.

Castellfollit de la Roca is part of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. The basalt crag where the town is situated is over 50 metres (160 feet) high and almost a kilometre long. It was formed by the overlaying of two lava flows.

The Garrotxa field is a monogenetic volcanic field, with each volcano representing a single period of eruption. The field became active about 700,000 years ago,and is the most recent example of volcanic activity in northeastern Catalonia, which dates back 10 million years.

Correct. The Bing Homepages are easy to find but they are usually very interesting and always have a description.

Easy to find but interesting, nonetheless.

That's correct.

"When the Narrow House arrived in Le Havre in 2019, the art installation was supposed to be temporary. However, thanks to its success, it has now gained a permanent spot on the city’s Square Claude-Erignac."

Ok, I'll play a different way...
