Perhaps now the guards could be enticed into joining?

No, not likely. They have a real mission, in addition to just showing off their spiffy uniforms, so that probably wouldn't happen.

Alrighty...what are these and where are they?

That was a quick one!

For this challenge I'm thinking military - not masons or that kind of group. I'm also thinking the little 3 leaf clover emblem at the top of the far left plaque might be a helpful clue. The first thing to come to mind is Rock of Gibraltar but I don't think that's it - different kind of rock face.

Thinking...

Here's an overnighter, for people to glance at in the morning. I think it's also easy.

I'm rarely that fast LOL! And hey, you were just as fast at JT's last challenge! Anyway, it just fell together as I described and then I checked to see if I might be right. The plaques in the rock - and then realizing it would be a different kind of rock than Gibraltar. For the winding wall challenge I just got lucky with how I searched.

Taking a Google images search makes me think you've got it, that domed building in the background is unmistakeable..
