428 GB - City of Bath (1987)

Brief Description

"Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under George III, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with the Roman baths."

巴斯城
"巴斯城最开始是罗马人的温泉城，在中世纪变成了重要的毛纺织工业中心。在18世纪，乔治三世统治时期，吸取了帕拉第奥建筑风格的灵感而把巴斯城建成为新式和古典式建筑物融合统一的优美城市。"
