Pasarel, officially Pasarel Municipality (Mescon: Pasarel kommune), is a municipality within the City of Rimso, Scovern. Known for its affluence and exquisite gothic architecture, it lies to the south of the city, near the municipalities of Markesø and Mellem Strand. Primarily a rich residential area, Pasarel's centre is dominated by St. Simo's Cathedral and the market square, which hosts the largest open food market in Rimso.
The municipality was designed predominantly by Gaullican architect Pierre-Valentin de Montmurat in the 17th century, and today boasts some of the most well-preserved gothic buildings in Euclea. The architectural style is unusual for its period, having been designed during the progression into renaissance architecture, though buildings in the style of the latter can also be observed in the municipality. Pasarel also hosts most Euclean diplomatic missions to Scovern at Orrestorv and Dronningensgade.
Pasarel also hosts numerous museums, educational institutions and cultural sites, many of which were constructed under royal patronage, including the Indsamling, Scovern's largest art museum, the Rimso Archaeological Museum and the Royal Rimso Aquarium.
