Maritime Greenwich

　　The architectural complex located in Greenwich on the outskirts of London and its nearby gardens were built in the 17th and 18th centuries in styles representing both art and science. The Queen’s House, built by Inigo Jones, was the first Palladian-style building on the British Isles, and it was not until recently that a similar architectural ensemble—the Royal Naval College—was constructed, designed by Christopher Wren. The gardens are based on designs by André Le Nôtre and include the Royal Observatory Greenwich, a masterpiece by Wren and scientist Robert Hooke.
