Fatos rápidos: Over 80 movies and TV shows have used this spot for filming, including 8 Harry Potter films. The college cathedral's bells ring 101 times every day at 6 pm, creating a memorable soundscape.
Destaques: The Great Hall's medieval ceiling features 98 painted beams depicting biblical scenes and coats of arms, rarely found in other colleges. Visiting the college's garden reveals a loveable tradition where swans raise their cygnets under the watchful eyes of staff, adding a touch of nature magic.
