    They were the daughters of Zeus, otherwise known as the charities, standing for things like beauty, charm, joy....

    You can find them in Grinners' garden and all over renaissance and neo classical art.

    That may be true (I would need photographic proof of Grinner's garden) but it's obviously not what I'm thinking of. Try again. Clue: you can go and see these somewhere in the UK.

    No, this is a country that existed, then didn't exist for a bit, and now exists again.

    Montenegro gets it for the Kolnster! Well worth reading up about its history, Nikola I ruled from 1860 to 1910 after a succession of Prince Bishops. Montenegro was on the allies side during WW1 and was royally screwed at Versailles, partly because the Serbians gazumped them, not helped by the Montenegrans being to disorganised to send a separate delegation.

    Now of course they have a better football team than England, despite their population being much less than Lndon's.

    Ok. Which European City or Town am I describing ?

    1. It once had a national border running through it.
    2. It has an underground marathon race.
    3. For the last 140 years it has had a law that 2 trees must be planted for ever one felled.
    4. It has a street where there are 4 churches from 4 different nationalities all within about 100 metres.
    5. It lost 60% of its population in the plague - and has burned down twice.
