The Imperial Center is a complex of towers located in downtown Monitava, Caliszava in South East Kathia. Construction began in 1966 and would continue until 1987 with the construction of 7 IC. The two towers were the tallest structures in the world until (x year), and currently remain the tallest in Kathia.

Conceived as an urban renewal project in the 1950s and 1960s, the Imperial Center signaled an end to the Rebuilding of Monitava following the city's destruction in the Second World War and has become a symbol of the city itself and Kathia as a whole, being featured in movies, commercials, and travel guides.
