Temple of Minerva (Bath)

United Kingdom / England / Bath / Weston Road
 temple, Grade II Listed (UK)
The pavilion, designed by Alfred J, Taylor, a local architect, was built for the British Empire Exhibition of 1924-5 at Wembley, where it served as an advertisement for the City of Bath, and in particular the Spa and the quality of its waters. Following its return to Bath the pavilion was reconstructed in 1926, when the eastern end of the Botanic Garden first laid out in 1887 within Royal Victoria Park, was extended and landscaped to accommodate it. Royal Victoria Park was opened in 1830 by the Duchess of Kent and her daughter Princess Victoria, and was one of the first municipal parks in the country.
