Norwich
Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
Norwich is a municipality in East Anglia, in Eastern England and the regional administrative centre and county town of Norfolk. The suburban area of the city expands beyond its area boundary, with large populated areas on most sides, particularly Thorpe St. Andrew on the eastern side. In 2001, the population of the city was 174,047. The university campus houses the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.
