Famous scenic spots in Britain and their historical significance

Bath, a city in the southwest of England, is located about 25 kilometers southeast of Bristol Harbour. It is famous for Georgian architecture and ancient Roman hot springs. Bath hot springs were systematically used by the ancient Romans in the 1 century, and a series of bathrooms and temples were built. Bath means "bath, bathhouse" in English. Bath's architectural style is unified, and they are all Georgian-style town houses, built with honey stones mined underground in local Kangbeirong. Bath is a tourist attraction in Britain, with a population of just over 90,000, but the number of tourists is second only to London. From 65438 to 0987, city of bath was listed as a world cultural heritage.

The main hot spring sites are regarded as temples by the Celts and dedicated to Sulis. The Romans regarded her as Minerva in Roman mythology. However, after the Roman invasion, the name Sulis was still used, so there is still a city name "Aqui Sulis" (meaning "Water of Sulis").
