Minas Tirith

Minas Tirith was the capitol of Gondor, replacing Osgiliath not long after the first war against Sauron. It was built by Anárion and was originally named Minas Anor. The city lay on a hill rising up towards the mountains, letting Anárion build his city in seven levels. These levels were all protected by strong walls and gates pointing in various directions, making the city basically impossible to claim as an army would have to move back and forth to claim the next level while its defenders could shoot arrows and use catapults from above to thwart them.

Up on the highest level lay the Citadel, which was where the Kings and their Stewards were seated. It was located on a natural outcrop of the mountain, giving the citadel a triangular courtyard pointing out from the mountains towards the east. In front of the Citadel stood the White Tree. The apex of the White Tower, the Tower of the Citadel, rose nearly one thousand feet above the plains, giving whoever was watching from it a clear view of what was happening below.
