Camelot

Camelot is a legendary castle and court associated with King Arthur, first named in 12th-century French romances and later popularised by medieval and Renaissance writers. Its precise location is unspecified in the tradition and it functions more as the idealised capital of Arthur's realm than as a single historical site. The romances place a mighty castle and a cathedral called St. Stephen's within a city on a river, surrounded by plains and forests.

As it stood in 520

The shape it held in its prime.

As told in medieval romance tradition: a fortified riverside city set on broad plains and forest edge, dominated by a large cathedral with a tall central spire and a nearby mighty castle of stone with multiple round and square towers, curtain walls and crenellated battlements. The castle contains a great hall centred on the Round Table; the city is pierced by narrow streets and dotted with many church roofs, while a wide meadow outside the walls serves as the lists for jousts.
