Royal Crescent (Bath): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:43, 24 January 2010

The Royal Crescent was designed by John Wood the Younger. It was built between 1667- 1775 and belongs to the Neo- Palladian architecture. It is located in Bath, which was known as a fashionable Spa resort in the 18th century. Nowadays, it is one of the best known landmarks of the city.

The building consists of 30 town houses which form a half circus around a great lawn. The front of the building is uniform and symmetrical which evokes the idea of stability. Until today, the exterior maintained the original; the interior could be altered by the residents.

Places like the Royal Crescent are referred to as Georgian Terraces.
