For hundreds of years, people have been coming from around the world to study at the colleges housed here. Youʼll be getting an education of your own as you stand before a massive gate, gasp in awe at a magnificent chapel, sneak a peek at the site of several local events, and find out why a fountain is so significant to this city.

While you roam in the presence of royalty, weʼll test your knowledge with trivia. Our handy app will fill you in on some of the tidbits youʼll need to know, but youʼll have to use your skills to find some of the answers!
