🧠 Fun fact

The Radcliffe Camera, an iconic library in Oxford, England, is one of the most recognizable buildings in the city. A fun fact about it is that it was the first circular library in Britain. Designed by James Gibbs and completed in 1749, it was originally intended to house the Radcliffe Science Library. Today, it serves as a reading room for the Bodleian Library, and its striking neoclassical architecture makes it a favorite among visitors and photographers alike.
