Biblioteca Marciana, Venice, Italy

The Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, or National Library of St Mark's, built in Renaissance style in 1537-53 by Jacopo Sansovino, then extended by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1588, on the Piazzetta San Marco, between the Piazza San Marco and the Venetian lagoon, Venice, Italy. The 2-storey building is lined with a Doric arcade on the ground floor and Ionic arcade on the first floor, with sculptural decoration and a line of rooftop statues. The library houses an important collection of classical, Oriental and medieval codices and manuscripts. To the left is the Colonna de San Todaro, with a statue of the Byzantine saint San Teodoro Amasea, 12th century, by Nicolo Barattieri. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
