Map of the Silent Street of Minas Tirith

The Silent Street of the Houses of the Dead of Minas Tirith ran along a shelf of Mount Mindolluin, that rose directly to the west of the City. It was reached by a steep and winding road that ran down from the Closed Door in the wall of Minas Tirith's sixth circle.
