Penzance, Administrative division in Cornwall, United Kingdom
Penzance, located near the southwestern tip of England, extends along Mount's Bay with coastal views toward the English Channel and nearby fishing villages.
The town received its first royal charter in 1512 and gained official incorporation status on May 9, 1614, marking its establishment as a significant settlement.
Chapel Street contains numerous architectural elements, including the Egyptian House, Admiral Benbow public house, Union Hotel, and the former residence of Bronte sisters' relatives.
The town center provides diverse accommodation options, shopping facilities, restaurants, and access to public transportation, including railway services established since 1852.
The Jubilee Pool, an outdoor swimming facility built in Art Deco style, stands as a testament to early 20th-century recreational architecture along the promenade.
