The Circus
Palladian masterpiece of John Wood senior begun 1754, completed 1768 by his son John Wood the younger, after his father's death in 1754. Three equal crescents of large segmental townhouses face three entrances, around a central circular space, originally paved with setts covering a reservoir. The three principal storeys rise through Doric, Ionic and Corinthian pilasters with lavishly decorated friezes of symbols, animals and devices.

The Circus, Bath
The Circus was designed by John Wood, supposedly based on the colosseum in Rome, with the foundation stone laid in 1754; the work was however completed by his son, also John, after the death of the older man. It can be said to represent the sun with the better-known Royal Crescent, a short distance away, representing the moon. This view is taken from the end of Bennett Street.

The Circus, Bath
Looking from the grassed centre of the Circus to the corner of Bennett Street. When the Circus was built in the mid 18th century, this area was cobbled. One of Bath's 100 King Bladud's pigs looks on.
