| caption1 = The ''Majhid amuShultan Zygros muDusht'' (the Temple of Sultan Zygros II) built in the 18th century is a magnificent example of High Demir architecture. The use of exquisite materials such as porcelain on the flooring, walls and tiling, the use of vibrant colors, murals and picturesque silhouettes was among its archetypal features.

| caption2 = The ''Majhid amuShultan Ishak muVaart'' (the Temple of Ishak IV) was part of late stage and revivalist Demir architecture, built in the late 19th century by the antepenultimate Sultan of the Demir dynasty. Its uniform natural and earthy colors are reminiscent of the tastes of that era.

The culture of Mekedesh is very archetypal of Packilvanian culture more broadly. Mekedesh had been under the control of the Ashurian kingdom of Bakil, then its own native Kingdom of Tashkar expanded and exported its culture to other province and reinstated the successor kingdom to the first Packilvania founded by [[Iktan the Devout]]. Many of its scholars, prophets and priests attended the Council of Bingol summoned by High King [[Melkezedek the Great]] in the 10th century whereby the Bas Magdamar was made the scripture of [[Melkezedekism]] (practically the only permissible denomination of [[Paxism]] in Packilvania).

It was also one of the first to fall to the rule of the Fidakarian [[Demirite dynasty]]. Along with [[Ashura]] and [[Iganar]], it is considered part of the civilisational core of Packilvania. Before [[Bingol]] was made into its own self governing entity, Mekedesh was by some distance the richest and most culturally influential province of Packilvania. Nevertheless, its cuisine, food, customs, laws, fashion, language and religion have been exported to all the other provinces including surrounding nations in [[Pax-Draconica]], with remnants of its influence still visible in nations such as [[Free Pax States]]. Especially before Mekedesh gained autonomy from the Central Government, it was functionally indistinguishable from it, with previous regimes exerting direct control over Mekedesh.
