Continuing our tour, we next visit Bastok Markets, a mainly commercial area with a few residences and many shops and guilds, as well as street vendors. The architecture here follows the general rough-hewn trend, with buildings following a pattern of main room and 2 side rooms. Of especial interest here:
- The extensive waterway running along Gold Street, with its "hump-back" bridges at intervals
- The huge and inspiring fountain in Firewater Circle
- The Galkan Bridge leading to Bastok Mines
- The overhead aqueducts (which are viewable from near the West Gate) which supply the water pressure for many of the city's marvels!
- The Kulatz bridge, almost unique in Vana'diel in that it actually has shops and residences on the bridge itself! (Jeuno went one better and built almost an entire city on bridges!)
