Location from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
The jewel of the Southern Continent — a vast, cosmopolitan city ruled by the khagan, where healers train at the legendary Torre Cesme and cultures from across the world converge.
Antica is warm in every sense — the climate, the culture, the welcome extended to healers and scholars. It's the opposite of Rifthold's cold ambition, a city that values knowledge and healing alongside military power. The khagan rules from the palace with a firm but measured hand, and the Torre Cesme operates independently as the world's foremost school of healing. For Chaol and Nesryn, Antica was transformation — the place where a broken soldier learned to be more than his injury and a guard captain discovered she could be a legend.
A sprawling desert city of golden stone, domed palaces, wide boulevards, and bustling bazaars. The architecture is ornate and sun-baked — arched doorways, tiled mosaics, fountain-cooled courtyards. The Torre Cesme rises above the skyline, a beacon of healing knowledge. The city is vibrant, diverse, and ancient.
