Ceres, officially the Autonomous City of Ceres, is the capital and largest city of Ebrary, in addition to its cultural and economic center.

The Greater Ceres metropolitan, which also includes the city of Urtedo and othe municipalities in Laverna province, makes up the most populous metropolitan area in the Ebrary.
Ceres has many officially recognized National Landmarks, including: Castello Providence, Palatio de Estalta, Palatio Presidential, Castello Corporation, Casa National, Cathedral de Ceres, and Church of the Pentecost.
Etymology
Curiously for a city founded by early Christians, Ceres was named for the Aroman goddess Ceres. It is believed that when Marcus Ebraius founded the city, he named it Ceres due to its central location in the prolific agricultural region of the Ceres Delta. As well, being a goddess of fertility, the name Ceres symbolized the birth of a new land to be settled by Aroman colonists.
Due to the pagan connotations of the name, a committee was established in 1986 by the government of president Jacobo Castello to possibly rename the city. Top proposals were Ebraropolis and Sancte Maria. However, the effort was eventually abandoned due to the continued popularity of the city's traditional name.
