Minas Anor

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

Minas Anor was the original name for Minas Tirith, built in II 3320 by Anárion.

In III 2002, the White City's companion tower, Minas Ithil (Tower of the Moon), on the borders of Mordor, was captured by the Nazgûl and renamed Minas Morgul (Tower of Dark Sorcery). Minas Anor was renamed Minas Tirith, meaning "Tower of Guard", to indicate that since the fall of Minas Ithil, Minas Tirith assumed the role of guarding Gondor against Mordor's forces. Minas Anor means "Tower of the Sun".
