Cesena — Biblioteca Malatestiana & Rocca
Emilia-Romagna
The Biblioteca Malatestiana is the world's first civic library to survive intact in its original 15th-century building, its reading benches and chained manuscripts largely as they were centuries ago. The Rocca fortress on the hill above gives a view over Cesena's rooftops toward the Romagna plain.
