The historic part of the city is located on the Plateau. The area is known by locals as the Royal Cliff, also Inner Walls and Outer Walls. Situated here is the following important landmarks

  • Alexandria Palace
  • 7 Colleges of the University of the Royal City of Alexandria (UCRA)
  • Garnet Square
  • Founders Park
  • Brahmme Square
  • St Ramuh Cathedral
  • Til Alexandrios Cathedral
  • Knights of Pluto Royal Barraks
  • Knights of Beatrix Royal Barraks
  • Queen Rosalind Hall of Peace
  • Queen Garnet 1st Memorial Musuem
  • Battle of the Last Hope Memorial
We will look at some of these sites at a later time.

Public Transport on the Plateau

No overground rail station is situated on the Plateau of Alexandrios. The building of a rail line into the area has been attempted but a connection to ground level has proved impossible due to steepness of the plateau.

However, the area is well served by over 12 bus routes connecting the Inner and Outer Walls and also into the other areas of the city located in the basin. The Plateau is also very well served by the cities Link system by the Royal Cliff Link (Royal City of Alexandria's Underground Passenger Mass Transit System).

The area mostly consists of the univeristy, museums, theatres, landmarks, churches/cathedrals, squares, parks and some shops and offices and a small amount of residence. The Outer Walls area has more commercial and residential zones.

Next stop is Garnet Square

This is the most famous square in the entire kingdom. It pays tribute to Princess Garnet XVII. When she became Queen she initiated the peace time between Alexandria, Lindblum, Burmecia and Romarian Empire.

The square is often the centre of events and specials days in the city.
The diagonal street in the centre left is Garnet Street and leads to Chelsea Square (as seen above)
The building to right of Garnet Street is Garnet College of the University of the Royal City of Alexandria (UCRA).The College specialises in music and has around 300 students. Next to Garnet College is Hollosal College which is also part of UCRA. The bottom Centre is Dagger College of UCRA. The avenue on the bottom left is Garnet Place and leads to the Royal Front Gate. To the left of Garnets statue and fountain is her museum.
The road going off to the West and following the wall leads to Queen Brahmme Square.
