Maritime Greenwich, England. The Heart of Seafaring
Description
The ensemble of buildings at Greenwich, near London, and the park in which they are set, are distinguished symbols of English artistic and scientific endeavour in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Queen's House of Inigo Jones was the first Palladian building in the British Isles, while the complex that was until recently the Royal Naval College was designed by Christopher Wren. The Park, laid out on the basis of an original design by André Le Nôtre, contains the original Royal Observatory, the work of Wren and the scientist Robert Hooke.
