This study describes a striking spatial correlation between three historical or topographically prominent sites in Europe and the basic structure of the asterism of Orion’s Belt. The focus of the analysis is not the claim of absolute metric identity, but rather the observation of a remarkable geometric approximation. The measured great-circle distances between the selected points yield a ratio of approximately 1.5:1 (919.26 km to 612.81 km), forming a proportional relationship structurally reminiscent of the spacing of the three belt stars. In addition, the central point shows only a small lateral deviation from the direct axis between the two outer points, creating a formal resemblance to the slight offset visible in Orion’s Belt. This paper is explicitly intended as an exploratory initial observation. It does not claim to provide a final statistical proof or evidence of historical intentionality. Rather, it presents a hypothesis- generating geometric correlation that may justify further investigation.
