Peedee, it is a water buffalo but as Pliers was already into googling cows I didn't want her to get distracted.

Not Salerno, or Rotterdam, though and as far as I know there isn't a lot of marsh land in the immediate area. No idea why they chose to instal these in the middle of a major city. It's in the square next to a cathedral.

Is it Rome then? Got to be Italian.

This one is quite famous but they are not normally this colour.

The only one I know which looks anything like that is Knaresborough but on my photos there is no church at one end of it.

Yes it is Italian.

It's Turin, which as I said wouldn't be the first thought for Marshland and Water Buffalos. Maybe it's something to do with Mozzarella?

Yes, we’ve been to Turin for the footy, about 5 years ago. Definitely didn’t see any water buffalo sculptures, but did see the shroud, well just the replica,  not the real one, it doesn’t come out very often.
Here’s a photo of the match at wonderful Juventus. 🐄⚽️🙂

I had just come across the old photo and thought some Scot would know the answer ( FoC for instance). It's a bit unfair unless you know Edinburgh well. The bridge is just 5 minutes from Prince's Street, spanning the Water of Leith.

BTW my bridge is the Dean Bridge, and it and the Dean Village below are well worth a visit when you're next in Edinburgh on holiday (gosh - holidays?)
