Meereen is the largest{{Ref|ASOS|57}} and most formidable of the cities along [[Slaver's Bay]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Rise of Valyria}} being as large as [[Astapor]] and [[Yunkai]] combined. Like them, the city is made of brick, but unlike Astapor and Yunkai, Meereen's bricks are of many different colors.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} Within the city there are narrow twisty alleys and wide brick streets, temples, granaries, hovels, palaces, brothels, baths, gardens, fountains, and fighting pits.{{Ref|ASOS|71}}

====Defenses====
Meereen's walls are higher than Yunkai's and Astapor's,{{Ref|ASOS|57}}{{Ref|ADWD|30}} thicker than Astapor's{{Ref|ADWD|30}} and better maintained than Yunkai's{{Ref|ASOS|57}}, studded with bastions and anchored by great defensive towers at every angle.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} The city's north wall runs along the bank of the [[Skahazadhan]], its west along the bay shore.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} The river wall is a few feet higher than the others.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} Upon the walls, rows of [[bronze]] harpy heads with open mouths are positioned, from which the Meereenese can squirt boiling oil out upon any attacker below.{{Ref|ASOS|57}}

The city's wastes are carried into the Skahazadhan by great brick sewers. These sewers are closed off with iron gates, although some have rusted through.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} The Meereenese do not drink the water from the river, drinking instead water gathered from wells.{{ref|ASOS|57}}

====Pyramids====
The nobility of Meereen lives in the stepped [[pyramid]]s. The greatest of them all is the [[Great Pyramid]], located on Meereen's central [[plaza]],{{Ref|ADWD|68}} which stands eight hundred feet tall.{{ref|ASOS|57}} There are a score of lesser pyramids in the city, but none stand even half as high.{{Ref|ASOS|71}} The Great Pyramid has a great bronze harpy on top of its apex.{{Ref|ASOS|57}}{{ref|ASOS|71}}

The pyramids are built in the colors of the noble house occupying them: the [[pyramid of Pahl]] is pink-and-white, the [[pyramid of Naqqan]] is green-and-black,{{Ref|ADWD|52}} and the great [[pyramid of Rhazdar]] is yellow-and-green.{{Ref|ADWD|60}} The [[pyramid of Kandaq]] is said to be modest.{{Ref|ADWD|55}} Poorer districts are located between the pyramids.{{ref|ADWD|2}}

====Fighting pits====
Meereen has multiple [[fighting pits of Meereen|fighting pits]] scattered across the city.{{Ref|ADWD|52}} These include [[Daznak's Pit]], the [[Pit of Ghrazz]], and the [[Golden Pit]].{{Ref|ADWD|70}} Daznak's Pit, the largest of all,{{Ref|ADWD|52}} is located west from the Great Pyramid.{{Ref|ADWD|52}} 

====Markets====
Meereen has several markets,{{Ref|ADWD|55}} including a spice market where the [[Purple Lotus]] is located, near the pyramid of Rhazdar.{{Ref|ADWD|60}}

{{Warning/twow}}
A market square inside the great western gate houses Meereen's ancient Slave Exchange, the merchant's arcade that fronts on the southern side of the square, and the weathered bronze statue of the [[Chainmaker]]. Not far from the statue is the ghastly monument the Great Masters call the [[Spire of Skulls]].<ref name="Barristan">''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Barristan I (The Winds of Winter)|Barristan I]]</ref>

====Other locations====
The [[Temple of the Graces]], home to the priestesses of the city, is located west of the Great Pyramid. It is a huge structure topped with golden domes.{{Ref|ADWD|2}}

A great bronze harpy can be found in the [[Plaza of Purification]].{{Ref|ADWD|2}}

Another location in Meereen is [[Mazdhan's Maze]].{{ref|ADWD|11}}
