The Purple Harbor is a harbor located in the Free City of Braavos. It serves only the locals and is located on the north side of Braavos. The Braavosi traders tie up their boats beneath the domes and towers of the Sealord's Palace. [1]. It is a richer, nicer, cleaner port that the Ragman’s Harbor. [2]. The ships of the Iron Bank moor at the Purple Harbor. [3] The streets that front on the Purple Harbor are cobbled. [4] The best alehouses, inns and brothels lie near the Purple Harbor or the Moon Pool.
