Guided tours in the ancient Biblioteca Capitolare in Verona

New series of guided tours inside the fascinating spaces of the Capitular Library

The initiative continues the project of enhancement and enjoyment of what is, to date, the oldest functioning library in the world, with pride.
With a treasure of over 1200 manuscripts, 245 incunabula, 2500 works from the 16th century, 2800 from the 17th century and another 70 thousand volumes, along with illustrious visitors in its past, the Capitolare has survived earthquakes, plague, Napoleon's looting, the flood of 1882, and bombings.

The visit begins in the canonical cloister, and then moves into the Library, with its majestic monumental hall and new exhibition spaces.

During the tour, some original manuscripts and printed texts are visible.

Today at 14:00, the guided tour will be conducted in English.
