Once raided by someone who sounds like five hundred,
or something that crashed on Armenian highlands,
like luminous city's triumphant landmark,
a 40's gun disjoined by queen saying "aah".
Iberian grapes go through long fermenation,
adapted in order to run on some system,
so take a look north as the ship's sailing east,
divide place in German by one million squared.
A novel cob pebble a famous example,
a punishment giver or crime-fighting writer,
remember: use one hand and start with the king,
a system of status with fifty between.
A paradise minus an Edmonton constant,
a place to escape one's finance obligations,
a shelter for ships made all safe and secure,
a home theater system surrounded by fowl.
What do we have in common?

First verse:
ARK
Once raided by someone who sounds like five hundred,
raiders of the lost ark - I guess Indy as a nickname for Dr Jones could also evoke the Indy 500
or something that crashed on Armenian highlands,
Noah's Ark
like luminous city's triumphant landmark,
Paris is the City of Light and has the Arc d'Triomphe
a 40's gun disjoined by queen saying "aah".
That would be an ack-ack and the queen is non-rhotic so Ark comes out Ahk
Putting it all together:
Ark Port Castle Haven
are all
Places of refuge or safety?

Second Verse:
Port
Reasoning:
Iberian grapes go through long fermenation, - Iberian wine is port, I think.
adapted in order to run on some system, - software can be ported
so take a look north as the ship's sailing east, - if you face east and look north, you're looking to the left, i.e. the port side of the ship
divide place in German by one million squared. - not sure about this? Something to do with "Ort"?
