			Fontico is an old city and it shows in its layout. The ''Old City'' is the inner part, housing about 5,000 people, the palace, guild houses and most other official buildings. It is surrounded by an old city wall, which in a few places has stones taken out for new buildings, is for the most part intact, though it is not manned anymore and the gates are open. Nevertheless, since the border to [[Schap]] has become so close, the damaged parts have been rebuilt and the wall is almost useable as a defense again, except for the fact that so many buildings of the ''New City'' are built right at the ''Old Wall''. Within the new city, travellers will find almost no green - no trees or grass. All streets within the old city are cobblestone and cover the entire distance from building to building.

			The ''New City'' is where Fontico grew beyond its original wall. It is surrounded by the second city wall, which is 12m tall and has round towers every 50-60 metres, with catapults on top. Its gate houses, especially the main gate towards the west, are massive and with multiple towers and gates. This wall is built to withstand a siege, and even though it has never been attacked, it is constantly maintained and manned. The city part between the two walls is the ''New City'', which houses the remaining 12,000 or so people. There is still a bit space for growth in the New City, and a few parks indicate where the wealthy or nobles live. There is also the second palace of the royal family.

			The Old City covers the central and eastern part of Fontico, the New City has grown mostly towards the west and south. The two walls never meet, but along the river there is a distance of only a hundred metres between them.

			The port of Fontico is right next to the river mouth, extending around the bend so that it has a western part for river boats and an eastern part for ocean ships.
