Vercelli - Return to the United Kingdoms - Prato
Return to the nation that started it all. Vercelli.
Although by no means brand new images, I'm bringing them over to this thread so that they can be showcased as apart of the work I've done before with Vercelli. A new take on an old city, Prato is the majestic and beautiful capital of the nation. Divided into several layers, the districts make it easier for the nation to track citizens movement and keeping lower classes from entering Royal and Aristocratic districts.
Prato straddles along the riverbanks and hugs the steep hills that rise up eventually into the mountains that surround the city. Known for its interconnectedness with nature, the city is often less than a mile wide and is usually situated on four levels. The River District is the level that is situated on the lowest built level within the city and is situated on both sides of the bank where the city is located. Open to any classes and with unrestricted access to foreigners, this level is where many shops, international agencies and businesses, government, and union buildings are located. The other three levels are usually only open to citizens in most places, although the more visited landmarks on all levels are usually open to foreigners and most class levels.
The Royal District is located on the highest level in the city and is where Royal and Aristocratic families have their homes and offices. The Grand Palace is located on this level as is the national cathedral ,one of the few churches allowed to be built within the nation. Christian King Axtisis built the church in 1716, and it has been a monument to Vercellian architecture ever since. The cathedral was transformed into a Grecco Temple in 1919. Located one level down is the Royal Temple, built to serve the Grecco Gods in 1783.
