Dating back to 1437, the College's famous Canterbury Quad is a splendid example of Baroque architecture. Stick to the quad and the gorgeous gardens, which stretch all the way to Parks Road, and avoid looking at the disappointing modern buildings to the left of the entrance which serve as accommodations for the students.
