Ruined City of the Giants

The Ruined City of the Giants, also called the City Ruinous, was a ruined city where giants once lived, possibly before Harfang was built. Jill Pole, Eustace Scrubb and Puddleglum fled from the giants to the Ruined City.

Although the city's original name is unknown, it was once the center of a vast empire, according to a eulogy written to one of its Kings:

Though under earth and throneless now I be,

Yet, while I lived, all earth was under me.

Eventually, the city was gradually reduced to ruins. At some point the giants of Harfang built their castle on top of the ruined city. Finally all that remained of the inscription was the final two words: "UNDER ME." Following the third Sign given by Aslan, Eustace, Jill and Puddleglum went through a small doorway at the foot of the plateau on which it was built.
