The Circus (Bath)

The Circus in Bath is a historic, iconic architectural landmark composed of three interconnected, curved streets forming a circular space. Built in the 18th century, it was designed by John Wood the Elder as a grand residential development showcasing Georgian style. The structure features elegant sandstone facades with classical columns and decorative details, creating a visually impressive and harmonious space. Unlike a modern entertainment venue, it functions primarily as a residential area and a notable example of Georgian urban design, reflecting Bath’s rich architectural heritage and its emphasis on symmetry and proportion.
