City of Bath, founded as a thermal spa by the Romans, is a World Heritage Site in Somerset, England. Located 156 km (97 mi) to the west of London, Bath was established in AD 43 under the Latin name Aquae Sulis, as a spa resort. It is generally believed that Bath was already known for its thermal springs before the Romans built there.

This was when the heritage buildings of Georgian architecture was built out of Bath Stone. The most famous is the Royal Crescent, also called The Circus, built between 1754 and 1768.
