13 Most Stunning Libraries in The World

Who would've thought that libraries can be some of the most beautiful buildings in the world?! Here are 13 of The Most Stunning Libraries in The World.
#6 - The Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland
The library is quite well known for holding a truly treasured relic, the Book of Kells. For those of you who aren’t aware, the Book of Kells is an illuminated Gospel manuscript that dates back to the ninth century and contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. The building was completed around 1733 by an Irish architect named Thomas Burgh. The library’s Long Room contains 200,000 of the oldest books in the library’s collection and it also boasts beautiful interior design with dark wooden features and a barrel-like ceiling. To top it off, the sections of the library are lined with busts of writers and philosophers which are frequently visited by guests.
#5 - The Vancouver Public Library in Vancouver, Canada
The seven-story luxurious library brings a little piece of Rome over the Canadian border with the architectural design of this building. The design also holds a secret rooftop garden that isn’t accessible to the public. It is the third largest library in all of Canada, and it is located in now what is called the Library Square. The Square not only houses the library, but the Federal Office Tower and other services, and retail shops are there as well. The Library Square Project was the largest ever taken on by the City of Vancouver; the project first started in 1993 and was completed in 1995. The library has an average 6.9 million visitors annually and rents out over 9.5 million items each year.
#4 - The National Library of Brazil
The National Library of Brazil is ranked as the seventh in size out of all of the other libraries around the world. The building is home to over nine million items such as media, written and audio works, and newspapers. The librarians at this establishment certainly have their hands full. The library also houses a 19th-century collection of thousands of significant photographs that are so remarkable; many are listed in the registry of the Memory of the World Programme. While the library was originally built back in 1810, it has since been remodeled into the palace you see today.
#3 - The National Library of Belarus
This stunning library was founded in September of 1922 and is the national library of the Republic of Belarus. It houses the third largest collection of books written in Russian, coming in after the Russian State Library in Moscow and the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg. The building you see now was designed by architects Mihail and Viktor and wasn’t completed until June of 2006. The building has 22 floors, features a 500-seat conference hall, and can sit about 2,000 readers at any time. In addition to being the main source of information and culture in the city, the building is used as a city attraction as well. The library is situated in the middle of a park and a river bank making it the go-to place for concerts and public shows. Over 2,200 people visit the library each day, and the library is responsible for delivering about 12,000 various media and works every day.
#2 - The Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandra, Egypt
While the famed Library of Alexandria may have burned to the ground hundreds of years before, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina which was completed in 2002 is on its way to being the new crown of the Nile. The huge building hosts an eleven level design that gives ample room for the eight million books housed there. In addition to all of those books, the library also has four museums, four art galleries, and even a planetarium. The gray exterior walls are etched with 120 different languages in a tribute to the complex richness of the human language.
#1 - The Central Library in Mexico City
The Central Library in Mexico City, Mexico is a splendor you must put on your bucket list. The library is located on the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. They call it their crowning jewel, and it’s not hard to see why. The building was constructed and completed in 1952 and holds approximately 400,000 books. The magic in this building isn’t in the books themselves, but rather the murals decorating the outside. Painter Juan O’Gorman covered the ten-story building with an intricate design depicting the country’s history. What’s even more impressive than the artwork is how it’s made, O’Gorman used thousands and thousands of beautifully colored rocks he found during his travels throughout Mexico.
