How it came to be
In the 1st century AD the Romans built a town called Aquae Sulis around the hot springs, raising a temple to Sulis Minerva around AD 60–70. About 1.17 million litres of hot water still rise each day, and the baths grew over some 300 years.
In the 18th century the architects John Wood the Elder and the Younger laid out Palladian streets in stone from Ralph Allen's mines. The younger Wood's Royal Crescent was built between 1767 and 1774, and the city was inscribed in 1987.
