* '''[[Armenelos]]''', the capital of [[Númenor]], which was the seat of the island's rulers throughout the [[Second Age]].
The same title was later applied to [[Minas Tirith]] in [[Gondor]], where the Kings of the name were the many generations of the [[Kings of Gondor]]. Historically, in fact, Minas Tirith had not been the City of the Kings of Gondor throughout their entire history. Their royal residence was originally in [[Osgiliath]] on the [[Anduin]], but the seventh King, [[Ostoher]], took [[Minas Anor]] (as Minas Tirith was then known) as his summer residence. It only became the absolute royal seat of Gondor long afterwards, when the twenty-seventh King, [[Tarondor (King of Gondor)|Tarondor]], moved the court permanently to [[Minas Anor]] under [[Mindolluin]].
* '''[[Minas Tirith]]''', city of [[Gondor]], originally named [[Minas Anor]] before the [[Kings of Gondor|twenty-seventh King]], [[Tarondor (King of Gondor)|Tarondor]], moved the royal seat of Gondor from [[Osgiliath]] to Minas Anor in the [[Third Age]].
