Cityscape

The cityscape of Brativas is characterised by medieval towers and 20th-century buildings, but it underwent profound changes in a construction boom at the start of the 21st century.

Most historical buildings are concentrated in the Old Town. Brativas' Town Hall is a complex of three buildings erected in the 14th–16th centuries and now hosts the Sloveti National Museum. The old city walls are the only thing that has been preserved from the medieval fortifications, and it ranks among the oldest of the town's buildings. Brativas' old town also includes the Cathedral of Brativas and the Sloverti State Library as well as the National Assembly Buildings.

The city's walls are amongst the oldest in Astyria although they have been rebuilt several times over the last 400 years due to various sieges.
