The White-Gold Tower (sometimes White Gold Tower), also called the Imperial Palace, White-Stone Tower or simply White-Gold, is the enormous central spire of the Imperial City, located in the heart of the Palace District. It towers above everything else in the city.

The tower was built by the earliest Aldmeri migrants to Cyrodiil in the middle Merethic Era and was the center of the region occupied by their descendants, the Ayleids. Tel Var Stones are believed to be pieces of the tower. The tower was originally called the Temple of the Ancestors (known to the Nedes as the Citadel), and was home to the Ten Ancestors, a set of Ayleid statues made from meteoric iron and glass. The distance between the Ayleids' lands and those of their theoretical overlords led to the establishment of White-Gold Tower as an independent city-state in 1E 0; a state that lasted until Alessia overthrew Ayleid rule in 243. The Ten Ancestors were removed from the temple before its sacking and were dispersed among several Ayleid cities.

Under the human-dominated Empires, it served as the Imperial Palace and as a defining symbol of those Empires. It hosted the vaults and libraries of the Moth Priesthood. It can be seen from all over the Imperial City and the surrounding countryside. Underneath the tower and in the vast Imperial City Sewers is the Barathrum Centrata, the centralmost point of the sewer system and foundation of the White-Gold Tower.

Some speculate that the White-Gold Tower wields the power necessary to keep Mundus from dissolving back into Oblivion.
