The city proper covers 41.2 km2 while the entire metropolitan area covers 2,395 km2, which covers the entire Special Municipal District of Salasca. The city lies on the Ría Dorada, in the center of the Antora region. Established as a settlement in the fifth century CE, it has been the official capital of Antora since 1590, absorbing many government functions from the Réoran capital of Descarai and the Arranzic capital of Porta Tranquíla.

The city metropolitan area contains many of the leading educational, political, entertainment, fashion, cultural, and artistic entities of Antora. It also is home to prestigious wineries, breweries, and distilleries for traditional Antoran alcohols.

Eleçeron has large percentages of neighborhoods still retaining the architectural styles of ancient Antoran and Réoran cultures. Some of the best examples of these are the Summer Palace, the Assembly Halls, and the Cathedral of Saint Emmanuel Vancia. The views of colorful riverside townhomes and the Sofía Bridge over the gorge are recognizable symbols of the city.
