Osgiliath, capital of the Kingdom of Gondor, was the Kingdom's greatest city before it was eventually abandoned in the Third Age. Now, you can take a walk in Osgiliath, both in its glory days and beyond, courtesy of two fantastic Minecraft builds.
The two maps were each built over several months by two groups, EpicQuestz and Empire War, led by Planet Minecraft member Only_God. The earlier one, from September, depicts an early, colorful Osgiliath, while the second one, posted yesterday, shows it in a ruinous, abandoned state, one that you might be familiar with from the movies.
Here's two trailers:
And a couple screenshots:
The maps do look good in-game, even if the buildings are a bit plain-looking. I took these for the top GIF:
