Contest #313 answer: Swallow's Nest castle, Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine.
The Swallow’s Nest was built in 1911-1912 on top of the 40-metre (130 ft) high Aurora Cliff.
It is quite small, its footprint is only 10 x 20 meters.
Currently it houses a restaurant.
(In retrospect the hint could be a bit better, this week… 🙁 )

Contest #311 answer: Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, Wallops Island, Virginia, USA
The day this contest went live, was the very same day of the launch of NASA LADEE Moon Dust mission.
It was launched with a Minotaur V rocket from Pad 0B at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.
Funny enough it was launched together with a toad 🙂
