Athens perhaps, no Penshaw

Penshaw Monument (officially The Earl of Durham's Monument) is a folly built in 1844 on Penshaw Hill between the districts of Washington and Houghton-le-Spring, within the City of Sunderland, North East England. It is dedicated to John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham and the first Governor of the Province of Canada.

Location
The monument stands on a 136-metre (446 ft) hill and dominates the local landscape. It is a half-sized replica of the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens. The story goes that the money ran out to finish the temple so the roof was never put on.
I went there with Danksound -see her picture here. and Danky- see her's here.
