Radcliffe Camera and All Souls College, University of Oxford, England

Today, we are at Radcliffe Camera, with the magnificent All Souls College standing in the background, both iconic landmarks of the University of Oxford, England. The Radcliffe Camera, fondly referred to as the 'Rad Cam' or 'The Camera,' is an architectural gem that was built between 1737 and 1749. Designed in Baroque style by James Gibbs, it originally served as the Radcliffe Science Library. Its unique circular design and prominent location make it a defining feature of Oxford's skyline and a beloved symbol of the university.

To its east lies All Souls College, one of the most distinctive colleges in Oxford. Founded in 1438 by King Henry VI and Henry Chichele, then Archbishop of Canterbury, the college was established to honor the victims of the Hundred Years' War. Originally, it supported a warden and 40 fellows, all required to take Holy Orders, with some studying arts and theology and others focusing on civil or canon law. Today, All Souls functions primarily as a research institution.
