When on Google Earth 18

Hello All. After fighting with Blogger for far too long, here is number 18 in the "When on Google Earth" series (click for larger view):

Hints (18 April 2009):

1) Not in the Americas or China.

2) It is a medieval site.

3) The river and canyon that runs diagonally through the frame marks a modern national boundary.

4) Because of the border, access to the site was restricted by permit until quite recently.

5) The conservation of the site has been a matter of some controversy in the already troubled relationship between the countries on either side of the border.

The Rules of When on Google Earth are as follows:

Q: What is When on Google Earth?

A: It’s a game for archaeologists, or anybody else willing to have a go!
