In briefanswer capsule

Armenelos stood on a hill beside the Meneltarma, the tall steep mountain in the centre of Númenor called the Pillar of Heaven. Tombs of the kings occupied the lower ground; nearby was Armenelos, with tower and citadel built by Elros son of Eärendil, whom the Valar made first King of the Dúnedain. An uncovered high place on the mountain was devoted to Eru Ilúvatar, and no other temple stood in Númenor.
