I agree. Though I usually model all objects first and then set the lights.
But it doesn't work in this situation when different people work on
different objects :) So if you can please do those changes assuming
that we won't add any other buildings to the scene besides existing
place-holders. In this case you could also work with light position/shadows.
Then we could freeze that light for a while :)

I would have only the following requirements to the light(s)
- it should be warm (golden hues) to mimic XVIII century painting
  and that time of the day (around 4-6 p.m.)
- those buildings on the right side should also have some visible details
  it should not look like black hole :) Maybe we need some
  shadowless light somewhere in front of those buildings (?)

Gena.
