The Street of the Sisters is one of the four straight streets which starts at the unnamed great square in the center of King's Landing (the three others being: the Gods' Way, the King's Way and the Muddy Way).[1] The street connects the Great Sept of Baelor atop Visenya's Hill to the Dragonpit atop the Hill of Rhaenys and was named after these two sisters.[2][3] One can find the Guildhall of the Alchemists upon it.[4] The brothel known as the House of Kisses was located at the end of the Street of the Sisters atop Visenya's Hill.[5]
