Seireitei

The big city in the middle of Soul Society. This is where the shinigami and the noble families live. Seireitei is surrounded by a circular wall of sekkiseki, which emits a spiritual barrier protecting the whole city. The only way to enter is through one of the four gates guarded by giant guardians. Once you are in the city, you'll see it's a beautiful sight of snow-white walls and golden roofs. It looks like something out of a fairytale, though it gets old quickly. The streets in Seireitei are narrow, look all the same and have lots of twists, turns and dead ends. It is designed to confuse any intruders. Unfortunately it confuses the residents too, that is why you can find many Kenpachi-shaped holes in the walls.
