O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: The building has a circular design inspired by ancient Roman architecture, measuring 15 meters across inside. Its name comes from John Radcliffe, a doctor who funded the library with a £40,000 donation in the 18th century.
Zajímavosti: The interior houses over 600,000 volumes, mainly focused on law and history, accessible only to university students and staff. Visitors can admire the stunning spiral staircase and the radially arranged wooden shelves from the upper gallery.

- Wear comfortable shoes as nearby walking tours often include cobbled streets.
- Photograph the exterior from Radcliffe Square for the best panoramic views.
