The dining hall was constructed in 1618, and the College chapel, begun in 1691, was completed three years later. In the early seventeenth century the Garden Quad was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and later additions, including one of the largest and most beautiful of the Oxford college gardens, make Trinity College a truly handsome residence. Its surrounding walls enhance its tranquility and privacy, while the college gates open on to Broad Street, one of Oxford's busiest streets. Bookstores, coffee shops and news agents are all nearby, and the city's commercial center, including a covered market, is a short walk from the College.
