Bath - Circus 
|
|
The Georgian architecture for which Bath is famous is found chiefly in the northwest of the city. The perfectly proportioned, classically modeled Circus (1754 onwards), was designed by John Wood the Elder (1704-54).
This was the first of new urban forms developed by John Wood the Elder. It is a perfect circle of three stories with different classical orders (column types) on each story.
It is composed of individual houses of Palladian influence (high Renaissance) which run as a row.
