Forgotten Capital

Location from Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix

The abandoned city of the Cetra, also called the City of the Ancients. A hauntingly beautiful ruin where Aerith prays to summon Holy — and where Sephiroth descends to murder her at the altar.

Also known as: Forgotten Capital, City of the Ancients, Forgotten City, The Ancients' City

What They Know

• Aerith traveled here alone to pray for Holy, the only spell capable of stopping Meteor
• Sephiroth killed Aerith at the altar as she successfully activated the White Materia
• The city was built by the Cetra thousands of years ago using organic, Planet-harmonious architecture
• Cloud laid Aerith's body to rest in the crystalline lake beneath the altar
• The architecture appears grown from the earth rather than constructed, reflecting Cetra building techniques
• Despite centuries of abandonment, the city's structures remain intact, sustained by Lifestream energy
