Garnoye remis

Garnoye remis, literally "White Fort Area", is an area of the city of Isana, named after the iconic Garnoye, or White Fort, which stands in the north of the area. To its north is the Waranye river. This remis is an important residential area, mostly for the more affluent of the city, and is mainly into seven residential districts, mostly occupied by high-rise apartments. At the same time it contains several of the city's major gardens, parks and public areas, as well as museums, especially in its western areas adjacent to Awenhine remis.

During the early days of Isana, the area that is now Garnoye was an agricultural district, but also contained many military installations and public buildings, including the old building of the Afengar, and Old Isana Train Station. Many of these buildings have been preserved, mostly in the vicinity of the Waranye river.

Site and Situation

Garnoye is the largest district in the east of Isana, roughly occupying the areas formerly known as Konenime, "south of the hill" (as opposed to Konebara "above the hill" which is now the eastern portion of Waranyebara remis) and Adunitaboga, "Aduni's Tower". The eponymous fort is in fact sited near the boundary between this remis and Waranyebara in the north, which is set along the Waranye river.

The remis is presently mostly residential and commercial in nature, though pockets of land devoted to manufacturing and other industries still exist mostly in the southeast and east, where the remis adjoins Hinegaes and Hirsa. While in the past it was touted as a suburban region in contrast to the densely populated western half of the city, in the 1970s to 2000s extensive development and movement of population from the west has brought it to a level of density approaching, and in some areas surpassing, that of Basetimena remis or Nimegose remis.
