Bath, England BA1 2ET

The Circus in Bath, originally called King's Circus, is a remarkable historic site designed by architect John Wood the Elder and completed by his son, John Wood the Younger, in 1768. Comprised of three curved segments of Grade I listed townhouses, it forms a striking circle with symbolic masonic elements interwoven into its intricate stonework.

This extraordinary landmark has housed numerous eminent figures, including the renowned artist Thomas Gainsborough and Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage. Visitors are encouraged to step into the center of The Circus to fully appreciate its architectural beauty and experience the unique acoustic phenomenon where sounds echo distinctly in that precise location.
