Dates The city of Minas Tirith (originally Minas Anor) was constructed in the early days of Gondor, before the end of the Second Age, and survived into the Fourth Age1 Location A wide street running towards the Great Gate within the first circle of Minas Tirith Race Men Division Dúnedain Culture Gondorians (Men of Minas Tirith) Settlements Minas Tirith Other names Rath Celerdain Indexes: Alphabetical: L Miscellaneous Places About this entry: Updated 21 June 2023 Updates planned: 2 Rath Celerdain in Minas Tirith Years of the Trees First Age I Second Age II Third Age III Fourth Age IV A wide street in the lowest of the seven circles of Minas Tirith, whose name in Elvish was Rath Celerdain. The street ran towards the Great Gate, and it was along this roadway that Pippin and Bergil walked to see the entry of the allies of Gondor. The Old Guesthouse stood on the Lampwrights' Street, a grey stone building with a green space between its two wings. Notes 1 The city of Minas Tirith (or, in its original form, Minas Anor) had stood since the late Second Age and survived into the Fourth Age. It is perhaps doubtful, however, that there was a Lampwrights' Street on its first level throughout this long period of more than three thousand years. It is noteworthy that the city was rebuilt by King Ondoher in the year III 420, so (unless it had been preserved from the earlier period) the street probably did not date back further than the [fifth century](../chronicle.html?startyear=401&startage=3&endyear=500&endage=3&c=The Fifth Century of the Third Age) of the Third Age.
