Europe's Most Beautiful Libraries
Libraries hold a special charm. Here's a brief introduction of some of the most amazing libraries across Europe.
Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark
Built in 1999, it is an extension of the old library, whose terrace（露台） can accommodate large crowds for events such as concerts and plays. Apart from the main functions of a library, the building houses a bookshop, a cafe and a restaurant.
Warsaw University Library in Poland
Located in the city center, it was founded in 1816, although the new building was completed in 1999. Its entrance contains blocks with writings in various languages, including a writing of Plato's in Ancient Greek and also one in Ancient Polish.
Wirtschaftsuniversität Bibliothek in Vienna, Austria
Parts of the site were originally built in 1898, but the library was repaired following a fire in 2005. The innovative decoration gives the impression that they came from another planet. It also boasts the title of the biggest library in German-speaking countries.
Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy
It is located off San Marco Square and was completed in the late 1500s. Designed by Jacopo Sansovino, it has an elegant and somewhat unusual style for the period in which it was built. The interior beauty can really hold your breath.
