Nessus is in Alexandria. Ultan's Library is a representation of the library of Alexandria. The Gyoll is the shrunken Mediterranean after Europe and North Africa have been pushed together with plate tectonics.

I'm certain that Nessus is south of the equator. As Severian travels north toward Thrax the temperature rises.

This.
Also, I may be wrong, but isn't it pretty much confirmed to be in South America with the mountains carved in the likenesses of past Autarchs being the Andes?

Yes, and now that I remember it, I saw a theory somewhere that Nessus is Buenos Aires, in which case the library of blind Ultan is also the library of the blind Borges.

It's definitely in the southern hemisphere. When the venture northward it gets warmer and the specifically state they are getting close to the equator.
They're clearly in South America.
