Can it be? Number ten?
OK time for a real challenge. Here is a little twist, I'll present two aerial photos, and you tell me
what is the connection?
(that's a big hint)

I may want to do a poll here in the medium future, and I thought I'd try out some different methods to see what works. This first one is from this site.

It looks like Universidad de Alcala in Madrid. The connection refering to Ramon y Cajal perhaps?
Wow 3hrs and only the slightest beginnings of an answer? C'mon guys!
This is a hard one.
The first picture naturally suggests Italy, but I had to do little research over which Italian cities retain Roman town plans. It is Pavia.
The second picture is a mystery. A lot of pools there, hardly in Europe. Volta worked in Pavia, something to do with electrical connections? Golgi was another famous Pavian.
Almost there. (forget about the swimming pools!)
Since the first pick is Pavia, which is likely Golgi, the second one has got to be in reference to Ramon y Cajal and the controversy between the two on how connections between neurons were formed (not to mention your affinity for posting campuses for Nobels, which the two of them shared). But I cannot find anything similar to that image in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia or Zaragoza, although it looks most similar to areas of Barcelona and Valencia. I'm google mapped out!
OK, got it: in the second picture we have Instituto Cajal in Madrid, with the half-circle square in front of it.
Pretty well done, if I may say so, considering that I just got home from a Finnish-Indian wedding party.
Good going. The debate: how are neurons connected. Golgi believed they were fused, Cajal using a cell stain developed by Golgi showed that each neuron was a seperate entity.
