 Minas Tirith
or the fashion of Minas Tirith was such that it was built on seven levels, each delved into the hill, and about each was set a wall, and in each wall was a gate.
And each time that it passed the line of the Great Gate it went through an arched tunnel, piercing a vast pier of rock whose out-thrust bulk divided in two all the circles of the City save the first.
Thus men reached at last the High Court and the Place of the Fountain before the feet of the White Tower: tall and shapely, fifty fathoms from its base to the pinnacle, where the banner of the Stewards floated a thousand feet above the plain.
