[[File:Laputa english poster.jpg|frame|link=Laputa: Castle in the Sky|The location is so ubiquitous it's a [[Castle in the Sky|trope]].]]
This is one of the simplest ways of naming a work of fiction. Like [[Character Title]], where the story is named after the main character in the story, '''The Place''' is where the main location is used as the title. '''The Place''' need not be where most of the action is set, it is sufficient for it to be important to the plot. If we don't know that the title is a place until near the end, then this place is [[The Namesake]].
