Glasgow's architecture
|
|
|
Glasgow, founded on religion, built on trade and now well established as a cultural centre, has become recognized for its architectural riches, from the medieval cathedral to the modern glass-lined galleries of the Burrell Collection. Most dominant is the legacy of the
Victorian age
, when booming trade and industry allowed merchants to commission the finest architects of the day, and the celebrated work of
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
, which took Glasgow architecture to the forefront of early twentieth-century design. Other useful information
