Urithiru is as wide as a city and as tall as a small mountain.{{book ref|sa3|24}} It consists of 10 semi-circular levels, with each level being 18 stories tall, for a total of 180 floors. {{book ref|sa3|2}} Going down, each level is wider than the one above it, with the roofs of the wider levels having fields and gardens built on them. There are numerous balconies on the sides of the tower. The bottom level has "wide sections jutting out at the perimeter:, largeeach stonethe surfaces,size eachof a plateau in its own right." {{book ref|sa3|2}} These areas have grooves, which in the past were furrows for growing crops, and planetplanter boxes around the edges for growing "tubers or ornamental plants."{{book ref|sa3|18}} In front of the tower is a massive plaza surrounded by the ten [[Oathgate]] platforms.{{file ref|Urithiru.jpg}}

The lower levels "meld" into the mountain on either side, but the center and the upper levels have a flat side on the stormward side. Rooms in this flat side have windows facing the originOrigin. {{book ref|sa3|4}} The glass windows miraculously survived thousands of years of abandonment utterly intact.{{book ref|sa3|8}}

The center column of Urithiru is one solid window, facing the origin. This column has a footprint the size of a ballroom and is full of dozens of "lifts," which look like the exterior balconies and crawl up and down vertical channels in the walls using Stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|4}}

The interior of Urithiru is filled with tunnels that twist about in strange curves, which Dalinar hypothesizes was done to fool invaders.{{book ref|sa3|8}} Navani's scholars have also found oddly shaped groups of rooms and murals of "fanciful animals (including some that might be lions, though those do not exist on Roshar)," along with gold and copper metals embedded in the walls, presumably fabrials that they have been unable to understand.{{book ref|sa3|44}}

The tower is comprised of multiple rooms of different functionality, including sleeping quarters, meeting halls, libraries and bathhousebathhouses. Most of the rooms in Urithiruthem have high ceilings.{{book ref|sa3|15}}

Each tunnel in Urithiru has distinctive patterns of strata - for instance, the corridor to Dalinar's quarters has alternating red and yellow strips of strata that slope upwards while the strata in the bathhouse where [[Vedekar Perel]]'s body is found spiral and corkscrew.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Known strata colors include shades of brown, yellow, red, orange, and emerald green, though it would appear that only [[Surgebinder]]s are capable of perceiving the various colours.{{wob ref|10715}} The stone itself is smooth to the touch and hard enough that it can't be scratched with a knife.{{book ref|sa3|13}} Notably, the same strata patterns can be seen on [[Kholinar]] windblades, indicating similar, perhaps shared origin.{{book ref|sa3|61}}

* '''Third floor corridor where Sadeas's body is found''': "twisted with lines—natural strata of alternating earthy colors, like those made by crem drying in layers."{{book ref|sa3|2}}

* '''Bathhouse where [[Vedekar Perel]]'s body is found''': "spiraled, twisting around the floor, ceiling, and walls like the threads of a screw"; "curving, twisting medley of oranges, reds, and browns—ballooning out across the sides of this chamber in wide bands before coiling back into narrow stripes to continue down the hall that led out the other side"{{book ref|sa3|9}}

* '''On the way to Dalinar's quarters''': "wide reddish strata alternating with smaller yellow ones"; "sloping slightly upward"{{book ref|sa3|8}}
