	Great quiz! But you might want to note these are modern buildings/towers. There's a couple of old cathedrals across Europe that break the 500ft mark. I tried Cologne/Koln every which way hoping its cathedral would count.

	The tallest building in Madrid is called "Messeturm"? Are you sure that's correct? Sounds like a German name to me.

	Yekaterinburg is technically in the Asian side of Russia.

	@cripple_creek: You're correct in that the quiz originally did not include churches and cathedrals. I did some research though and included the two churches taller than 500 feet in Europe, including in Cologne. @naali: Sorry, that was a careless mistake! I've updated Madrid now with the correct building. @Mcourtney: I am aware of that, but I included it simply because it's in Russia and Sporcle considers Russia to be part of Europe. If more people think this is unfair then I can remove it. Thanks for the criticism and help, everyone!

	Hang on, isn't the Fernsehturm Berlin 1207 feet tall? Yet Berlin is not in this quiz!

	@Sh4wz0r: the Fernsheturm Berlin does not qualify as a building. While it is a structure, it does not have habitable floors all the way up so it is not considered a building.
