Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge

Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, generally known as Caius (pronounced "Keys"), is a constituent college of Cambridge University, one of the world's most respected academic institutions.

The Old Courts

Tree Court is the largest of the Old Courts. It is so named because John Caius planted an avenue of trees there. Although none of the original trees survived, there are several trees which is unusual for a Cambridge front court. The interior North-East corner of the Waterhouse Building can be seen on the left and the Exterior South-East corner, as seen from King's Parade, on the right.

The Gate of Honour (to the left), at the South side of Caius Court, though the most direct way from the Old Courts to the College Library (Cockrell Building, behind the wall on the right), is only used for special occasions like graduation. The Senate House (on the left) as well as King's College Chapel (directly behind the Gate of Honours) can also be seen.
