Markarth is a Location in Elder Scrolls V Skyrim.

"Nothing ever changes in the City of Stone, and that's just fine."
―Amanda Alleia

Markarth, also known as Markarth Side, is one of the major cities in Skyrim province. The city is located in the far west of Skyrim, in the mountains of The Reach, west of the Karth River. As a result the city has a good natural defense, even from the dragons. Due to the long distance between Markarth and other cities in Skyrim, travelling to or from Markarth is the most dangerous trip to many travellers.

Markarth was the former city of Nchuand-Zel, belonging to the ancient Dwemer (also known as the Dwarves) who resided in Morrowind, Skyrim, Hammerfell and High Rock during the Merethic Era and First Era. Following the disappearance of the Dwemer from the face of Nirn after they attempted to control the power of the Numidium, Markarth was abandoned until the natives of the Reach known as Reachmen, moved into the city. The rise of the Septim Empire however, saw Markarth conquered by the Imperials and thus ceasing the natives control over the city.

Markarth is split by a large running river and comprises two parts: The Jarl's palace, Understone Keep, is located at the top of the city and contains the Hall of the Dead, the Dwemer Museum, and the Nchuand-Zel Excavation Site where the internal part of the old Dwemer city remains in ruins. Riverside, where the native Reachmen and the working district are found; and the Dryside, housing all the houses of Nord nobles and Silver-Blood ownership.
