Oxford City was the birthplace of many famous stories and films, Lewis Carroll lived and studied for many years in Oxford and there inspired Alice in Wonderland, JRR Tolkien lived a large part of his days in the city, including this one buried in the city and was inspired by the region, which wrote the Lord of the Rings.
J. K. Rowling describes with great delight the schools and classrooms of Harry Potter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which are very similar to Oxford schools.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Oxford is practically strolling through the 18th and 19th centuries … It’s amazing the feeling of being in a period film, with all the details. The Moon brings a magical illusion and illuminates the already yellowed walls of Oxford with an incredible and compelling tone forming contrasts that drives our imagination to madness.

A RADCLIFFE SQUARE, OXFORD
Radcliffe Square is one of the most beautiful spots in the city, the Radcliffe Library is round and full of details, in this picture, next to the Church of the Virgin Mary offers a mixture of medieval and contemporary with Gothic towers.

THE SHELDONIAN THEATRE E O CLARENDON, OXFORD
Escaping a little from Oxford’s Gothic architecture, the Sheldonian Theater was built between 1664 and 1669 and features a “D” format based on the Theater of Marcellus in Rome in the first century. Illuminated by the moon is even more impressive
In this beautiful photo illuminated by the brightness of the Moon, the Sheldonian Theater divides space with the side of Clarendon Buildin, a neoclassical building built between 1711 and 1715 initially with the printers of the publisher, now a library.
In addition to the Moon, the Street Illumination strikes a striking contrast to the city’s architecture and makes the roads more inspiring. In this photo, the front of Clarendon Building and Oxford Martin College.
