We'd already figured this out (Villa Capra "La Rotonda", in Vincenza) before the second hint but were trying to determine how you got your pic so screwed up. I'll assume you didn't realize that when you rotate Earth in GE, cardinal directions can get skewed.

NEW RULE: make sure to orient your pic with North at the top edge, and plz use Google Earth or Google Maps for the image.
