STRATFORD UPON AVON

Stratford-upon-Avon (also known locally as Stratford) is a town in the county of Stratford-upon-Avon, England, bounded by the county of Warwickshire. Due to the birthplace of William Shakespeare, it is of great importance in terms of tourism today. It was founded at the point of a Roman road crossing the Avon River; where there is a 19th century bridge and an arched stone bridge dating from the 15th century. Stratford, nicknamed the 1553, became a rural market town for centuries and then became a birthplace of Shakespeare in the 18th century. Born in the city in 1564 and studying here, Shakespeare returned to London in 1597, known as New Place. He died here in 1616 and buried in the Holy Trinity Church of the Region.

Actor and producer David Garrick started celebrating the author’s annual birthday in 1769 in the city. The Shakespeare Center along the river embodies a library opened in 1881 and a theater opened in 1932 with its art gallery. Shakespeare’s and his birthday, April 23, is celebrated every year with ceremonies. Also every year between March and October Shakespeare plays are exhibited at the Royal Shakespeare Theater.
