Lakat

Lakat is a city on Cardassia Prime that is home to a number of famous Cardassians, including guls Madred and Tayben Berat. (, --"A Stone's Throw Away")

Lakat is located in the northern regions of Prime on the continental region of Upper Rivçal, in an area known for cool temperatures by Cardassian standards. The city is bisected by the Great Iyven River. One known landmark is the Dra'amek Footbridge that crosses the Great Iyven, a stone bridge visited by then-Glinn Berat on a return visit to his home city in 2369. It is pre-Union in construction, indicating that the area has been settled in excess of 500 years. (--"A Stone's Throw Away")

At times in its history, Lakat has had a significant homeless population, which once included Madred. 

Other possible natives
There has been speculation that the following Cardassians are also from Lakat, though conflicting sources make it difficult to know for certain. Some sources state that Gul Skrain Dukat hails from Lakat. However, in an alternate universe, resistance fighter Skrain Dukat is known to be a native of Culat. Given the 500-year divergence between universes, it is quite possible that one of the two families relocated during that time and lives in a city other than its ancestral one. (--"The Desolate Vigil", Pocket Books novels)

The alternate Dukat also speculates that based on his features, a mysterious stranger named Elim is a native of Lakat, though he never asks or receives an answer to this question. (--"Those Who Live in the Shadow of the Night")


 * In the novel Betrayal, by Lois Tilton, the character of Berat is confused by a number of people for Garak. Images of Berat point to a strong resemblance in fact--not simply the inability of DS9's residents and guests to distinguish Cardassian faces.  Imagining Garak to be a native of the same city as Tayben Berat is therefore not that much of a stretch of the imagination.

Miscellanea
In "A Stone's Throw Away," the imagery of Lakat is based somewhat on St. Petersburg in Russia. "Iyven" is in fact a near-reversal of the Russian river "Neva," in the genitive case.
