Aldra (アルドラの町 Arudora no Machi?, lit. "Town of Aldra"), also known as Alba, is a location in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. It is a town located on the north bank of the western stretch of the Dead River. It is mostly devoid of men and populated with many women (some of the villagers will flirt with Simon Belmont if spoken to). It is where the player can find an adventurous Vampire Killer crystal trader, who will give a Red Crystal, which will be needed to get beyond Deborah's Cliff. It also has church where the player can replenish their health.
Aldra is located on the west bank of the Dead River across from the Belasco Marsh. On the other side of the town lies the Sadam Woods.
