795 GB - Maritime Greenwich (1997)

Brief Description
"The ensemble of buildings at Greenwich, an outlying district of London, and the park in which they are set, symbolize English artistic and scientific endeavour in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Queen's House (by Inigo Jones) was the first Palladian building in England, while the complex that was until recently the Royal Naval College was designed by Christopher Wren. The park, laid out on the basis of an original design by André Le Nôtre, contains the Old Royal Observatory, the work of Wren and the scientist Robert Hooke."

格林威治海岸地区
"位于伦敦郊区格林威治的建筑群及其附近的花园是以17世纪和 18世纪以艺术和科学两种风格建造的。伊尼哥•琼建造的女王行宫是在英国本岛上第一个具有帕拉底奥风格的建筑物,直到近期才出现同样风格的建筑群——皇家 海军学院,它是由克里斯托夫•雷恩设计建造的。花园以安德烈•勒诺特雷的设计为基础,包括格林威治皇家天文台,是雷恩和科学家罗伯特•胡克二人的杰作。"
