Minas Tirith , originally named Minas Anor, is a fictional city and castle in J. R. R. Tolkien\'s Middle-earthwritings. It became the heavily fortified capitalof Gondorin the second half of the Third Age. It was originally built to guard the former capital, Osgiliath, from attack from the west, but became the capital when Osgiliath fell into ruin following the Kin-strifeand the Great Plague. It is often referred to as the White City (though that name is not in the book) and the City of the Kings. The Rohirrimsometimes translated this into their own languageas \"the Mundburg\". In the climax of The Lord of the Ringsthe city comes under a very large and determined attack by the allied forces of Mordor.
