728 GB - Old and New Towns of Edinburgh (1995)

Brief Description

"Edinburgh has been the Scottish capital since the 15th century. It has two distinct areas: the Old Town, dominated by a medieval fortress; and the neoclassical New Town, whose development from the 18th century onwards had a far-reaching influence on European urban planning. The harmonious juxtaposition of these two contrasting historic areas, each with many important buildings, is what gives the city its unique character."

爱丁堡的新镇、老镇
"从15世纪起，爱丁堡就是苏格兰的首都。目前这座城市由两 个部分组成，一个是以中世纪堡垒风格占据主要地位的老城和一个从18世纪发展而来具有新古典主义形式的城市，它对欧洲城市建筑具有广泛的影响。这两个历史 城区都有许多重要的建筑物，其风格既统一和谐又对比分明，给这座城市赋予了独特魅力"
