The Citadel
East Tenne: The Citadel
Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don’t require the Supreme Wirdle’s daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them and concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. In this initial trip into the fourth district, we will see several government buildings and their environs, all centered on a lovely green square. Despite the concentration of government buildings, the area is no urban wasteland. There are seven government clusters in the district. Today, we will see the cluster around Clark Square, which is where many educational institutions are headquartered.

The National Archives holds many original documents of the national government. Each region also has its own governmental archive.
The Education & Literature Commission has a large building facing the square; one of the largest governmental structures in the capital
The Fine Arts Council has a building facing the square and its own lovely courtyard in the rear

The nearby Grove Center offers shopping and dining for residents and office workers
The triangular Grove Park connects Grove Center to the governmental complex. It also houses the offices of the National Parks and a church.
There’s plenty of commerce in The Citadel
The curved façade of the Schulmastadon Hotel beckons patrons. And of course their motto “Our prices are prehistorically low!” really appeals to their wallets. Every room is 99 purrs per night and includes a complimentary can of Fancy Feast for every meal.
Mixed use developments offer shops below and residences above
The corner building houses the offices of EG&G McMuffin, a company which does stuff too complicated for us to really understand. So we smile and nod and carry on.
Let’s stop by the mall. I want to buy something at Ossie’s Scratching Post on the second floor. Then, maybe a stop at the food court.
