In memory of what was once the largest and most important library in the ancient world, today the Library of Alexandria is an impressive modern building, holding up to 8 million works. Opened in 2002, the library is also home to a vast reading room, museums and art galleries. The story goes that a blaze ignited during the civil war of Julius Caesar destroyed the ancient Library of Alexandria. Although, there is still much speculation over the true fate of this beacon of ancient learning. Whether you&#8217;re a history buff or a book lover, today&#8217;s modern Library of Alexandria is a must-visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bodleian_Library_%E2%80%93_Oxford_England\"><\/span>Bodleian Library &#8211; Oxford, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/europe\/western-europe\/england\">England<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oxford-BLOG-books.png\" alt=\"Oxford; most amazing libraries around the world\" class=\"wp-image-5414\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the oldest libraries in Europe, the Bodleian is the main research library for the prestigious University of Oxford.

Unlike other libraries, the Bodleian is a reference-only library, meaning books cannot be removed from the building for personal use. Spread across five buildings, the most striking is the circular Radcliffe Camera building, a beautiful neo-classical masterpiece.
