In Laelith, the buildings are all marked by the touch of orientalism specific to the holy city. The neighborhood of the Observatory is one such fine example, with its tuffeau stones in shades of ochre, and arches and courtyards projecting colorful perspectives. The facades are pierced with slender openings, flanked by geometric or floral columns.

But this neighborhood is also where history resurfaces before the eyes of the traveler who lingers on its architecture. It then becomes evident that this style, so dear to Laelith, was built on the remains of much older and striking buildings. Thus, the flamboyant domes of the Meteorology & Astronomy Palace rub shoulders with the hard and dark structure of the Hospice of True Knowledge. And by understanding this, the discerning eye discovers the depth of Laelith. It is captivated by the grandeur of its present and past places. And while the astronomer eagerly throws himself onto the telescope turned towards the sky, it is the tired stroller who observes the city from above that perceives the dimension of its history.
