The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Artbook

Novigrad is also famous for its diverse entertainments.
Occupying a special place in the city
dwellers’ hearts is the Passiflora—an opulent and
exclusive house of carnal pleasures. The illustrations
presented here show early concept art for
this brothel and its interior decoration.
The Passiflora stands in sharp distinction to the
townhouses that are its nearest neighbors. It occupies
its own small square, part of which is covered
with flower beds and small pools of water.
In a city as large as Novigrad, the establishment’s
real estate alone is worth a small fortune. As the
law requires, the building’s windows are lit in red,
clearly informing passers-by of its function.
The elegantly furnished interiors have a slightly
exotic character. The Passiflora is clearly no
house of simple pleasures for simple clientele.
Spending an afternoon in its ladies’ company
costs a hefty sum that few can afford.
Placards are hung on walls and notice posts all throughout
Novigrad. Most of them advertise places with services
on offer—everything from theaters, public baths, and
laundries to abodes of ill repute. The three placards shown
here advertise a locale offering pleasures of the flesh.
