The Radcliffe Camera can only be described as Oxford’s most iconic building.
Dominating the small cobbled square in which it’s found, this large, circular building was designed by James Gibbs and built in 1737-1749.
Built in the English Palladian style, it forms part of the Bodleian Library complex.
It houses mainly English, History and Theology books, and because it’s a working library, only students and scholars are admitted.
