Bath, a city famous for its bathing places, is elegant, romantic, exquisite and beautiful.
The Avon River flows slowly in the city center, and the houses on both sides of the Avon River are built on gentle slopes, which are elegant, romantic, exquisite and beautiful. Every time I come to Bath, I always like to use my footsteps to discover the little-known scenery of this charming town.
Where did Buzz get his name?
The city was discovered and is famous for its bathing. Here, there is a legendary story about the Celtic prince Brock! The prince suffered from leprosy when he was young. I was exiled to the countryside near Bath today for fear of being infected! The poor prince left the palace and came to this remote and isolated place. He can only live in a pigsty and keep company with pigs! The prince and the pig are in the same boat. Because of the cold and humid environment, pigs here also suffer from inflammation and stinging skin diseases. One day, the prince was surprised to find a group of pigs tumbling in the hot spring water gushing from the swamp. In this way, after a few days, the skin diseases of these pigs actually recovered. So the prince did the same and soaked in the steaming swamp. Surprisingly, his leprosy was cured! After recovering from his illness, the prince returned to the palace ecstatic and told people around him about his magical treatment in Bath. Later, Prince Braddock succeeded to the throne. He cured his leprosy swamp, built hot springs and built a town.
Later, the Romans came to England in 43 AD. The bathing-loving Romans discovered that Bath had natural hot springs here, so they developed them with advanced engineering technology, built large-scale baths, theaters and temples, and turned Bath into an advanced bathing and convalescent center in Rome, England. After the Romans left England, Bath slowly declined until he was forgotten. 1702, Queen Anne came to Bath and ordered the re-construction of hot springs and some related convalescent facilities, which made Bath make a comeback and become a resort for British people. Even the princes and nobles of European countries, dignitaries, have also come here.
In the18th century, several municipal excavations led to the rediscovery of cultural relics left over by ancient Rome. Now this bath has been transformed into a museum, showing the prosperity and luxury of ancient Rome to the public, and people have to sigh that the Romans really enjoyed it.
Bath is very small, with a total area of 29 square kilometers and a population of less than 65,438+10,000. Although small, it is the only city in Britain that has been listed as a world cultural heritage, with the most precious streets and the most beautiful buildings in Britain. There are restaurants, cafes, hotels, churches, art galleries, museums, universities and various shops in the city. There are not only bathing buildings in ancient Rome, but also buildings in Georgian period, post-Gothic period, Italian Renaissance style and neoclassical style. She combines the characteristics of different times and is exotic. There is both the laziness and tranquility of the countryside and the fashion and excitement of the metropolis.
Bath is also the place where the first draft of Jane Austen's masterpiece Pride and Prejudice was written. It was also here that she met the love of her life, Mr Darcy. Although Jane doesn't like this place, it doesn't affect her creation. There are many images of Bass in her works. Her works often ridicule people's despicable weaknesses such as stupidity, selfishness, snobbery and blind self-confidence through comic scenes, which shows her contempt for her.
If you have been to Florence, you will feel deja vu at first sight, much like the ancient bridge in Florence. It is one of the only bridges in the world with both sides designed as shops. The Avon River flowing under the bridge forms the beautiful Pulteney weir arc appearing here on postcards.
The earliest monasteries were built in the 7th century, and then rebuilt many times. It is one of the largest Gothic buildings in western England and an important part of city of bath as a world cultural heritage. On the west facade of the monastery, there is a relief of "Angel Climbing a Ladder", which is inspired by the dream of Bishop Oliver King, the reconstructor at that time, and symbolizes the road to heaven. It is very distinctive.
Speaking of the exquisite town of Bath, there is a father and son who have to mention it, that is, John Wood and his son. Old John Wood was a famous designer at that time.
