Bath Abbey West Front

Bath Abbey west front - A masterpiece in the Perpendicular Style called "Lantern of the West" due to the large windows. The Abbey fell into disrepair during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and was not properly restored until 1616.
バース寺院西側正面。現在の垂直建築様式は1616年に整った。壁の60%以上を窓が占めるので"西洋の灯火"と呼ばれた。
