Cair Paravel

Cair Paravel is the capital of Narnia, fictional country that gives name to the series of novels The Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis. It was a large citadel located on a peninsula where the Great River of Narnia flowed into the Eastern Ocean. This citadel counted on a great palace highly ornamented and decorated, its inhabitants were animal, speaking beasts and inhabitants of Narnia. During the absence of the Pevensie kings who disappeared for 1300 years Narnians the inhabitants of the palace desist to remain to protect it and to maintain it until the return of the monarchs. By fall paravel have passed all the monarchical generations of Narnia, that is to say from the coronation of Kings Pevensie, Caspian X telmarino, Rilian son of Caspian until the last king Tirian. In this place were the four thrones occupied by the great king Peter, the magnificent; Queen Susan the benevolent; King Edmund, the righteous and Queen Lucy, the brave.

Cair Paravel was built before the Golden Age of Narnia (1000-1015), possibly by King Frank and Queen Helen, the first kings. When the four Pevensie children entered Narnia and became Kings and Queens of the country after defeating the White Witch, the court of the great King Peter was established at Cair Paravel.

In the time of Miraz the Usurper, Cair Paravel was only ruins. Caspian X rebuilt the castle to its original splendor.

In the days of King Tirian, the last king of Narnia, Cair Paravel is looted by the Tisroc of Calormen.

Cair Paravel lasted until the last days of Narnia where Aslan punished the earth leaving everything and everyone who decided to follow Tash and not to believe in him. All the faithful went to the paradisiacal country of Aslan. Etymology

Cair Paravel literally means "Little Court" (in Old English, fall means "cut", and paravel means "small").
