In briefanswer capsule

In the centre of Númenor rose a high, steep mountain called the Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven. Its summit held an unroofed hallow dedicated to Eru Ilúvatar; no other temple stood in the land. Below lay the tombs of the kings, and near on a hill stood Armenelos with the tower and citadel founded by Elros, first king of the Dúnedain.
