The most important object in the country, the National proud. About it’s location and plan of construction decided Gigargios. Just like the unification of all kingdoms into one state, he wanted to build a new great and phenomenal city, which would then become the capital. Due to his own mathematical knowledge, taken from his grandfather, with the participation of geographical knowledge, immediately after the borders were permanent formed from the east to the west, he measured the country’s latitude and longitude exactly, and then measured its central point. Gigargios ordered to build the city from scratch. He sealed this decision by putting three swords on the cross-configuration, over which the central square was probably to be erected. Barely after the construction began of the palace and the first buildings, Gigargios died. His son Bergen continued working after him with commitment. It was he who left the city with the necessary buildings and the already quite large population of many thousands. The city developed systematically under successive kings. A royal palace had already been built, which gradually expanded over time, leaving quite a lot of space around it. Apart from it, aristocratic palaces grew in highher numbers. Both from the families of the native province and from the entire country. Their splendor determined the majesty of the state. When expanding the country, the street layout was also kept in mind (in an elegant way). It is assumed that the city of Gigargios was one of the first to adopt intersections similar to the state symbol of the intersection of three swords. Thus, it was to be a model for other cities. Of course, as urbanization increased, so did the population. First of all, an offer for the nomadic community was directed to live in the city, for which the city was to be the only way to change the way of life. Because, by the will of the rulers, it was forbidden to build any settlements in this province. Gigargios was to be the only metropolitan city for this province, for which henceforth serve for. Unfortunately, the growth of the city did not coincide with the demand for apartments for the aforementioned group. Nevertheless, along with its enlargement, it attracted people from all over the country to the capital.

Apart from it, some aristocratic families also settled. Later, immigrants from abroad also joined the city.

In the meantime, and later the history of its development itself, the city also experienced periods of danger. The first was a revolt in the state, only 200 years after its founding.

Only the Persian invasion in the 6th century BC could (irreversibly shake the state). But  managed to prevent the invaders from reaching the capital. Even road sections in the endangered area were destroyed to lose their trail to city. In the end, the city, which had resisted the invasion so far by the occupant, was seized by the Romans during a decisive war.

Regardless of the scale of the threat, Gigargios had a good defense in the form of a mighty wall, several meters thick and well-fortified. It was strengthened by massive and cleverly designed towers, supposed to be the main points of resistance, as if they were small forts. The building material for such a significant structure was a rock collected from the northern mountains of the province. The initiative to build it came after the Persians entered the territory of the country.

It is also worth mentioning that the city also had occasional parks in the middle of the desert. Finally, there were diplomatic missions in the capital. Of such countries as Egypt and Greece. In this way, they wanted to tighten cooperation between these countries, granting them estates independent of themselves, which could be freely carried out by diplomatic activities.

Overall, Gigargios held a decisive role in this young country from the outset. Grow along with, if not exceed. Successive rulers made every effort to ensure that the city deserved its role and was the most majestic example of their power. Gigargios, recognized as the largest city in the state, deserves its status of being the capital.
