The Casanatense Library was founded by the Dominicans of the Monastery of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome and opened to the general public, according to the will of Cardinal Girolamo Casanate. In order to contain the Library collection the Friars built a new architectural structure in the area of the monastery cloister. The Salone (Hall) was designed by architect A.M.Borioni. The Library was already opened on November 3rd, 1701, only one year after Cardinal Casanate's death. The first nucleum of the Library was the collection of the Cardinal, which contained up to 25.000 volumes. Info on web site.

Reviewed By itineROME - Rome, Italy
Behind piazza Navona, this hidden gem is one of the most ancient public libraries in the whole Europe and the earliest to publicly open in Rome at the beginning of the 17th century. At present, the entry is allowed to all those who are over 16 years old with an identity document. The opening time can change but it's usually open on workdays during the morning (however, always check the website news section). Guided group tours are available upon previous appointment with the didactic office. Always remember that this is also a working library where people actually come to read, study and research in silence.
