Bath
This guide covers all of Bath`s notable architecture with commissioned photographs and an introduction outlining the social and economic forces that shaped the city. The city of Bath is not just a museum of a past phenomenon -- it is a living urban organism with dramatic scenery and ancient beauty. The Romans established their city of Aquae Sulis, and it was here too that eighteenth-century society settled in the refined luxury of the architecture we now call Georgian. Its rich history is told through the text and pictures here.
