Oxford

Oxford is like London: it is international, it is very old and it has great charm. It is also a town that grew up near the River Thames.

Oxford is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at its University. The older of England's two major universities, Oxford probably owes its origin to the arrival in the late 12th or early 13th century of foreign scholars expelled from the Paris Sorbonne. But it is considered to be older still: its oldest college, University College, having allegedly been founded in the 9th century by King Alfred! Whether or no, it is accepted as the doyen among the 27 men's and 5 women's colleges nowadays.

One of these colleges, Christ Church College, was founded by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525 and is named after him; it is known throughout the world for being a place where Lewis Carroll (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson), the author of classical novels for children "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland” and "Through the Looking Glass"-held the position of a mathematical lecturer from 1855 till 1881.

Christ Church overlooks the Thames, here called the Isis, and you can go up and down the Isis in a boat just as people did in 19th century and as Alice did in the famous book.

Today Oxford is a set of .the quadrangles, most of which are of medieval origin, separated by narrow cobbled streets. From the 144-foot tower of Magdalen College Chapel one can see the charm of the town; with its particular architecture and beautiful lawns and gardens which surround the colleges, the river with its bridges and beautiful meadows.

If you ever have a chance to visit Oxford, don't miss it. You will not regret a single minute spent there.
