夏洛特广场

夏洛特广场中心的阿伯特亲王雕塑,在西部户籍注册馆前

夏洛特广场(Charlotte Square)是苏格兰爱丁堡的一个广场,位于爱丁堡新城乔治街的西端,与东端的圣安得鲁广场呼应,为世界遗产的一部分。

在詹姆斯·克雷格最初的规划中,这个广场名为圣乔治广场,但是在完成之前就以乔治三世的王后和长女重新命名,以免与城市南部的乔治广场混淆。夏洛特广场是新城第一期最后完成的部分,在1820年完成。它的大部分是罗伯特·亚当的设计,他死于1792年,建设才刚开始。西北角直到1990年代才完成,但是仍然采用原来的设计概念。

花园中心是维多利亚女王的配偶阿尔伯特亲王的骑马雕像,1876年由女王本人揭幕[1]

中央部分是私人花园,属于周边的业主。每年八月在夏洛特广场花园举行爱丁堡国际图书节

建筑

在北侧,5号是第四代布特侯爵的府邸,他在1903年购买,1947年去世时赠给苏格兰国家信托,1949年到2000年是该机构总部。5号现为爱丁堡世界遗产信托总部[2]。6号布特大厦(Bute House)和7号乔治大厦(Georgian House)也属于苏格兰国家信托。布特大厦是苏格兰首席大臣官邸。

西部户籍注册馆(West Register House),从前的圣乔治教堂,是西侧的中心。它是由建筑师罗伯特·瑞德设计于1811年。这座教堂开放于1814年,1964年改为今天的用途。
