Kêr-Is Behind the Dyke, 920

Kêr-Is is the low city built from the bay, held dry by a great sea dyke whose bronze sluice admits ships at certain tides. The walk moves from the approach across the Bay of Douarnenez, along the dyke and quays, past Gradlon’s palace and the cathedral square, to Dahut’s seaward tower and a high promenade that looks back over the city.

14 scenes, 9 streets, squares and views, 5 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Ys as it stood in AD 920 (“Ys”).
