Traveler reviews
Andrei Petrescu
★★★★★a month agoAdvertised as the oldest continuously operating library in the world, founded around 517 AD, with a €7 entrance ticket. You are able to get up close to the books, which is what makes the visit worth it, since most libraries of this weight keep everything behind glass and at a distance. The standout is the Institutions of Gaius, a 5th-century palimpsest and the only substantially complete text of classical Roman jurisprudence to survive from antiquity, a foundational document for how European civil law developed. Seeing it in person, in the place that has kept it safe for centuries, is the reason to come.

★★★★★a year agoWe had the great luck to have a professional meeting and the conference dinner at Biblioteca Capitolare in Verona. What a fantastic place to visit. Our hosts and the staff gave us a fantastic introduction to the oldest library in the world, and during our tour, we had the chance to see some of the books and manuscripts as well as the amazing architecture of the building. Absolutely recommended to visit the library, and it was a highlight of our trip to Verona. Thanks, and we absolutely enjoyed it.👍🙏
