Royal Crescent

The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses in Bath, England, designed by John Wood, the Younger, and built between 1767 and 1774. It is a Grade I listed building and one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture in the UK. The 500-foot-long crescent has 114 Ionic columns on the first floor with an entablature in a Palladian style above. Many notable people have lived or stayed in the Royal Crescent, and some are commemorated on special plaques attached to the relevant buildings. The Royal Crescent is home to the five-star hotel The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, a museum of Georgian life at No. 1 Royal Crescent, and private housing. It is also a popular location for films and period dramas
