Known as 'The Taylorian' and completed in 1844, this building, with its impressive classical features inside and out, houses lecture theatres, offices and the main libraries and reading rooms of the Modern Languages Faculty, and is used mainly by students of the university. The female statues on top of the four Ionic columns represent France, Italy, Germany and Spain, whose languages are the main ones taught in the building. Please note that this building is not open to the public.
