Aldera was the capital city of Alderaan. It was located in the mountains of the planet, nestled near a lake (or, by some accounts, on an island at the center of a lake).
[edit] History
Visitors to the city mostly arrived by air, unless they traversed the lake by boat. Upon reaching Aldera, many visitors were breathtaken at the white, flowing architecture of the buildings, many of them belonging to the planetary government.
In addition to being the home of the University of Alderaan and the Aldera Universal Medcenter, the capital included the Aldera Royal Palace, home to Queen Breha Organa and her consort, Prince Bail Organa as well as the center of Alderaanian government.
Like the rest of Alderaan, the city was destroyed by the Death Star in 0 BBY.
When the Alderaan Alliance moved to New Alderaan after Old Alderaan's destruction, they built a city called New Aldera in a similar design and in a similar landscape.
