Jane Austen's Bath

Bath was Austen's home from 1801 to 1806 (during which these events took place), but she never liked the city. The Circus (below) is a famous and representative example of the Georgian architecture the city is known for. It was completed in 1768 during the city's heyday when the portrait and landscape painter Thomas Gainsborough lived in the city and completed The Blue Boy.
