A couple of things I wish I would have known before coming here: 1) It is on the 2nd flr of the current, modern Public Library 2) You can only just walk in the door; the reading desks and essentially the itself is roped off 3) The "guide" is just the guy that opens the gate and the door and plays the "history" off his phone in whatever language you request That being said, even though I was a bit disappointed in experiencing the itself, it was still a major book/history nerd moment to even be there. To see the old reading alters with the manuscripts still attached with the original chains and the two keyed door that was also part of the original library, still standing just as they 550+yrs before; it was actually surreal to process. And the fact that I had it all to myself, (I lucked out as it was just me and the guide) made it all the more special! There is a large room adjacent to the hall where some of the previous popes' personal collections as well as manuscripts from the early 1400s-1600s and old medical, botany, and other scientific books from the 15th century on, are encased. You can also walk around the enclosed bookcases and see some of the old books throughout the collection, which is extremely impressive! For me, however, the smell was the most intoxicating part of the whole experience. The smell in the ancient reading hall, and the smell in the book museum. That old, earthy blend of vellum, antique inks, and timeworn leathers was ethereal and well worth the 5 euro price of admission! I had specifically come to Cesena to visit this and was only there for just over 2hrs as a detour on my way to Rome from Venice; it took me longer to travel there than time spent! But, it was so worth the visit to experience such a venerable and only humanistic-conventual link to the past. That, in and of itself, was worth the effort! Tip: Unless you are part of a pre-scheduled tour group, you will need to purchase a ticket and request a from one of the receptionists in the unmarked office behind the wood door immediately to your right as you come up the stairs to the second floor. Biblioteca situata nel centro città di Cesena, ha vari ingressi e zone diverse per ogni esigenza e aspettativa, oltre ai libri é presente la zona film e la zona gaming Sono presenti più ingressi ed é presente anche la toilette gratuita (cosa non scontata nel 2025 purtroppo) Interesting and educational. Cesena has done a wonderful job restoring architectural masterpieces from the past Luogo storico culturale di valore immenso, solo per chi lo capisce. Non è una biblioteca con libri da sfogliare, ma bisogna ascoltare la guida, professionale e preparata per apprezzarne il valore. Se preferisci nella piazza adiacente ci sono degli ottimi bar!!! This is a hidden treasure in Emilia Romagna. It's only possible to visit it through a quick and explanatory tour. From the moment you step in, you enter in a magical atmosphere where time seems to have frozen. Simply amazing how well is kept after all these centuries. Stunning. I’m really glad we decided to take the guided tour. You can't enter the old without a guide, so booking this tour was a great choice. It lasted about 45 minutes and was absolutely fascinating. Our was excellent and highlighted many details that we would have otherwise missed. Seeing the setup with the chained books in person was truly mind-blowing. Plus, it was a perfect way to escape the summer heat! The ticket price was definitely worth it. This is a must-see if you're in Cesena. Notably recognized by UNESCO, the new is a jewel rediscovered with a ton of spaces, reading amenities and a huge collection of books, media and the 15th century that is a must to be seen Pretty good for students looking for a quite place Lo scrittorio, che avevo già visto, di giorno è sempre bellissimo, ma non è possibile pagare una visita per stare al buio nella stanza. O si prevede una qualche illuminazione o si effettuano solo visite al mattino ... Perfect to visit... La biblioteca antica é un posto affascinante , luogo che ti riporta indietro nei secoli vista la buona conservaziona, esperienza incredibile. Senza guida sarebbe stato da 5 stelle , spiegato poco o niente e in maniera sbrigativa saltando addirittura la prima parte. Difatti a fine vista abbiamo colto l’occasione di leggere le didascalie delle eposizioni per avere maggiori informazioni ma siamo stati cacciati via dalla guida del gruppo successivo. Nient’altro da dire, posto bello o inpreparate o scortesi.
