Main locations
The Halliwell Manor
The Manor has been passed down within the family for four generations. According to the series, the original house was built in 1898, while the existing structure seen on the show was built in 1906 after the Great Earthquake of San Francisco. The Manor is situated exactly at the center of five essential life elements (wood, earth, water, fire, metal), it is thus considered by many as a Wiccan and spiritual nexus, and its power can accessed by good or evil. and Zankou, but after they tried to invade it to their advantage, the sisters managed to keep the shadow underground with a spell that their Grams, Penny, taught Phoebe when she was little. and many other demons. However, in the end, Piper, Phoebe and Paige have no choice but to destroy it so no one will ever have access to it. after Piper leaves Quake at the end of the first season. Prue and Phoebe help fund and start the club and its opening is monitored by Piper's boyfriend, Dan Gordon, who is also her new neighbor. In season 4, the club comes under new management and it is renamed The Spot but is changed back to P3 at the end of the episode.
Magic School
A school for children with good magic, protected by good magic that no one can be killed by evil on its grounds. It was started by one of the most powerful elders, Gideon, who manipulates the rules in Magic School as he is able to kill his own assistant inside the school. Paige becomes headmistress after Gideon's demise and when she resigns, the newly-human Leo briefly takes over. It is invaded by demons after Zankou is able to breach the school's protective spell when he steals the Haliwell's Book of Shadows at the end of Season 7.
The most famous students that appeared in the school are: Zachary (Dean Shelton) - a telepath, Enola (Elena Finney) - a shaman, Duncan (Blake Bashoff) - a conjurer, Ben (Tac Fitzgerald) - a grad student, Eddie Mullen (Bug Hall) - a witch lost 20 years ago, Ryan (James Immekus) - one of Leo's proudest students and Jen (Kimberlee Peterson) - one of Leo's proudest students.
Other students are: Herman (J. Anthony Woods) - a conjurer, Slick (Adam Hendershott) - a shapeshifter, Quentin (Mitchah Williams) and Sara (Linda Tran) - both telekinetic, Simon (Kenneth Schmidt) - a boy who used to pick on Duncan, and Dan Mullen (Dennis Flanagan) - Eddie Mullen's older brother who died 20 years ago. It is bought by young media mogul and millionaire Jason Dean, who later becomes Phoebe's boyfriend. She first found out about the Bay Mirror when she had to help a friend who she had told the boss that the girl that had worked there was sick but she really wasn't. The set used for the Mirror is the same as that used for the SFPD building. After Phoebe's death, she disguises herself with permanent magic to change her appearance in public so Elise
hires Julie Bennet to work there to remind her and the staff of how great Phoebe was.
Golden Gate Bridge
Contacts with the Elders by Leo, Paige and Chris are often made on the top of the bridge since season 6.
In season 7, this is where Leo "falls from grace" and becomes a mortal.
In season 8, Henry proposes to Paige here and she accepts.
Non-human locations
=== "Up There" ===
The realm "up above" where the Elders, Whitelighters, and possibly other good beings stay or converge. It is not given an identifiable name in the series.
Among the Charmed Ones, Piper is the only one who has been to the Heavens many times, first at the end of season two, then when the Charmed Ones help the Elders vanquish the warlock Eames, and after Leo and Piper get married, they are welcomed by the Elders during the reception Up There. Piper also goes up there when she becomes the Earth Goddess in season five right after Leo became an Elder.
The Underworld
The world of demons, monsters and evil beings. Its structure is completely chaotic. It first appears graphically in season two.
Nexus
A Nexus is a place equidistant from the five elements as explained in the TV series Charmed that is a source of great power and often a battleground for good and evil. There are several Nexus scattered throughout the Charmed world, though rare, and the original most powerful Nexus was referred to as "The All". The one used by the Halliwell family in the Charmed series was located under Halliwell Manor, accessed via the basement, and was one of several "ultimate powers" seen in the course of the television series. A Demonic Shadow, called the Woogyman (or Woogy), sought the power of Halliwell Manor Nexus and was subsequently trapped within it by Patty Halliwell. Phoebe Halliwell and Wyatt Halliwell, the only two people to be born in Halliwell Manor, were both strongly influenced by evil, with Phoebe becoming Queen of the Underworld and Wyatt becoming a concentrated source of evil power, enslaving the World in an alternate future.The Nexus is located in the basement of the Halliwell Manor and Zankou. Each attempt is thwarted by the Charmed Ones, and it is eventually banished at the end of season 7 along with the destruction of Zankou. The Charmed Ones together and later by Phoebe Halliwell alone. Demons Cole Turner and Zankou, as well as the warlock Nigel, all seek to take The Shadow into themselves and take with it the power of the Nexus. The Shadow when freed has power over the entire manor and the people within, corrupting them.
The Shadow and The Nexus were conceived originally as separate entities/artifacts, but through the years they became muddled. In season 7, the terms were used interchangeably, and the Shadow opted for a neutral party host (Leo) rather than its previous modus operandi of corrupting good with evil. The Shadow chose to possess a neutral party because it was confused as there was evil (Zankou) and good (The Charmed Ones) in the same room together. The Shadow of the Nexus only has lust for power, thus it corrupts any being it possesses, whether they be good or evil, or mortal. The Shadow and the Nexus were still two different things. When the Shadow entered Zankou, he still referred to it as the Shadow of the Nexus, then the sisters destroyed the Nexus, which is the location which embodies an absolute power. The Shadow dwells in the Nexus exactly to quench its hunger for power, as it existed only because of the power supply it gets from the Nexus. When the Nexus was destroyed using the Banish a Suxen spell, the Shadow, which was inside Zankou at the time, was destroyed at the same time because the Halliwell's Nexus' power no longer existed. That is why Penny Halliwell only created the spell to banish the Shadow back into the Nexus, precisely because the Shadow could not be destroyed without destroying the actual Nexus itself, the Shadow's dwelling place, until it was necessary to banish the Nexus altogether, as what the sisters did in season 7 with a blessing from the Elders.
Unknown places
There are certain unknown locations in the series, which exist outside the human world and the realms mentioned above. Such locations are the location of the Tribunal, the Fortress of the Fairy Tale Keeper and the location of the Avatars.
The Demonic Wasteland
The world where all demons go after being vanquished. There, average demons are destroyed as they arrive, leaving only their powers, which manifest as a cloud of sapphire orbs. A snakelike monster (there may be more than one) prowls the wasteland as the primary predator, and it feeds on the demons' powers and essence for all eternity. Demons with souls (such as Cole Turner) are not destroyed upon entering, but are continuously pursued by the snake-monster. These demons may collect the powers of other demons that arrive. In the end of season 4, Cole is sent to the wasteland, where he gets powers from vanquished demons and eventually kills the snake-monster. The monster isn't picky about its food and will also devour non-demon beings (it tried to eat Phoebe).
