Magdalen Tower
Magdalen Tower
Seen here from Magdalen Bridge, the tower belonging to Magdalen College was completed in 1509 and is one of Oxford's iconic buildings.
Magdalen College

Magdalen College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. It was founded in 1458.
Magdalen stands next to the River Cherwell and has within its grounds a deer park and Addison's Walk. The large, square Magdalen Tower is an Oxford landmark, and it is a tradition since the days of Henry VII that the college choir sings from the top of it at 6 a.m. on May Morning.
