Minas Tirith would definitely seem to be a place that highly values human reasoning, and is quite beautiful. It is imbued with the sense of the power human accomplishment and knowledge. But all the palantri, battlements and learning could not save it from darkness. Providence intervened in the simple act of a hobbit stumbling across a ring in the dark, and though the chain of events that sparked, the city was eventually saved.

I can easily see Minas Tirith in Dante's tower.
