Underneath the Capitol, there were ducts and serviceways dating from the Old Time. (TV: The Deadly Assassin) By the time of the Doctor, these were used by those who worshipped shrines dedicated to the cult of "Rassilon the Vampire". (PROSE: Goth Opera)

In another area under the Capitol, at least two individuals had cameras pointed at a repair shop where TARDISes were being kept. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)



By the Last Great Time War, the Capitol had expansive but minimalist spaces with metal walkways, a darkened conference room, and a huge council chamber with Time Lords standing on suspended platforms.

By the final days of the War, the Citadel was severely damaged by Dalek Saucers. The crashed saucers remained on the surface next to the Citadel. (TV: The End of Time) Capitólio
