'''Castra Osaniovo''' is a metropolitan city on the southern coast [[Urlazio|Caphirian Urlazio]], across the [[Urlazian Sea]]. It is the capital city of the [[Provinces (Caphiria)|Caphirian province]] [[Narico]]. It has nearly 800,000 citizens, while its metropolitan area (including Castra Osaniovo and 15 other municipalities) has more than 1,722,000 inhabitants. The city is noted for its history, culture, and architecture. Its natural resources have always been its sheltered harbour, the often powerfully fortified hill of Trynn, the salt from its lagoons, and, from the hinterland, wheat from the Pohella plain and silver and other ores from the Naseph mines.
'''Castra Osaniovo''' is a metropolitan city on the southern coast [[Urlazio|Caphirian Urlazio]], across the [[Urlazian Sea]]. It is the capital city of the [[Provinces (Caphiria)|Caphirian province]] [[Narico]]. It has nearly 800,000 citizens, while its metropolitan area (including Castra Osaniovo and 15 other municipalities) has more than 1,722,000 inhabitants. The city is noted for its rich history, culture, and architecture. Its natural resources have always been its sheltered harbour, the often powerfully fortified San Mirolt hill, the Polstoia lagoons, and, from the hinterland, wheat from the Pohella plain and silver and other ores from the Naseph mines.


Castra Osaniovo has over 3,000 years of recorded urban history, having been a human settlement since the Adonerii civilization in the 4th century BC. Under the modern city lies the ruins of the Old Castrum, a medieval fortification built during the 16th century. The city's role as a major political centre dates back to the end of the Second Imperium when Caphiria was under constant attack from Muslim raids. From the 10th century until the 13th century, the city was a coveted defensive port, one of the most important in Sarpic history. As the Third Imperium reached its peak during the late-15th to 16th centuries, Castra Osaniovo became a major trade and commercial hub as it connected Levantia to Sarpedon. Despite losing much of its political and cultural importance during the [[First Great War]], the city regained its status as a major economic and political center.
Castra Osaniovo has over 3,000 years of recorded urban history, having been a human settlement since the [[Adonerii civilization]] first inhabited the region during the 4th century BC.

Today, the city is known for its strong presence in the art, chemicals, commerce, design, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media (communication), services, research and tourism sectors. Castra Osaniovo is a regional cultural, educational, political and artistic centre, known for its diverse ''Relerio Nouveau'' architecture. It is also the province's economic and industrial hub, having one of the biggest ports in the Urlazian Sea, an international airport, and one of the highest income levels in the Imperium. Over the last 50 years, tourism in Castra Osaniovo has quadrupled. This is due to the many beaches becoming a popular destination for weddings and honeymoons, student vacations and an influx of celebrities moving to live in the area. The tourism and entertainment business flourishes here unlike in any other city so much so that many have nicknamed Castra Osaniovo to ''Novas Venciea''.

Bus and trolleybus services, managed by the Municipia (more than 30 lines) and ARST connect internal destinations in the city and in the metropolitan area; Castra Osaniovo is one of the few Caphiravian cities with an extensive trolleybus network, whose fleet has been partially renovated in 2012. A metro-like tram service on its own rail, MetroVetera, operates between Piazza Republica and the new University campus near Cariati. A line between Piazza Repubblica and Piazza Matteotti, the city transport hub (with train, urban and extra-urban bus stations), is planned. A public bike-sharing service is operating with pick-up points at Via Sonnino - Palazzo Civico, Piazza Repubblica, Piazza Giovanni 23, and Marina Piccola.
