St John's College
What the experts agree on
St John's College showcases Oxford's architectural evolution across seven serene quadrangles, blending medieval foundations with Italian Renaissance-inspired classical columns and ornate stonework.
“The front quad contains remains of the medieval St Bernard's college (1437), while the columns of Canterbury quad (1631-1636) give a touch of Italian Classicism to Jacobean style.”
