 | | Tolkien's description of the physical layout of Minas Tirith is followed scrupulously in Peter Jackson's movie The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, although there is no reason to suppose that the top of the rock is flattened and paved. | | | Although this is nowhere described, it is possible that the city may have reverted to its original name once it no longer needed to guard against evil. | | | The Rohirrim sometimes translate this into their own language as Mundburg. |

| | History of Gondor |
| | In the Third Age, Gondor suffered three great evils: the Kin-strife of 1432-48, the Great Plague of 1636, and the invasions of the Wainriders between 1851 and 1954. | | | Eärnur rode out to meet the Witch King's challenge, disappearing into Minas Morgul with all his companions. | | | However, the Witch King did not forget the rash Gondorian king, and later challenged him to single combat. |

| | There in the tale it says that the sons of Elendil (Isildur and Anarion) "take four (of the Palantiri) and set them in Minas Ithil, at Minas Anor, at Osgiliath, and at Orthanc." In Minas Ithil was also planted the seedling of Nimloth the Fair that Elendil had brought out of Númenor. | | | It seems from the Tale of the Years in Second Age that the Tower of Minas Ithil was finished in the year Second age 3320, the same year as the foundation of the realms in exile; Arnor and Gondor. | | | Nothing else is told of Minas Ithil and what happened in the that city during the next 1640 years until the Great Plague that devastated Gondor (Third age 1636 - 1640) and forced the realm to leave Mordor unguarded and allowed the Lord of the Ringwraiths to gather his brethren there in Third age 1980. |
