"Artists over the last few centuries have incorporated the golden ratio into their work, believing it to be a gold standard in natural aesthetic perfection," the researchers said.
The "divine proportion" (i.e. the golden ratio) is said to be ubiquitous across art, architecture, and even nature.
It's essentially a measurement of 1.618 that has fit across major artworks over time, including Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation.
While Chester came out on top of the beauty score, the city was closely followed by the likes of Venice, Rome, and Barcelona.
The historic city is known for its Roman walls dating back more than 2,000 years.
Not only that, Eastgate Clock – erected in 1897 – is widely considered to be the second most photographed clock in England (after London's Big Ben).
Another monumental building is Chester Cathedral considered to be an "archaeological treasure" by VisitCheshire.
VisitEngland noted people traveling to Chester can expect Roman history, "quirky shopping", and the chance to kayak on the River Dee.
