It was built by Roman emperor Hadrian in 132 A.D. It formed a colonnade with specific areas used for the storage of papyruses and books , lecture halls etc.

Definitely worth visiting this important historical site . It’s close to the Roman and Ancient Agora , and you can visit it by using a special package ticket.

Must see in Athens. View from outside is also great as inside since you can see a lot from outside. So dont worry if it is closed :)

Clement H.

You can pretty much see everything from the outside

Great stop just off of Monistraki Square to see the ruins and remains of Hadrian’s Library . Well preserved footprint.

Ruth Banbury

You can walk the perimeter and see everything without paying the €6 entry

Really interesting history and museum

Free admission with acropolis ticket package, but honestly nothing special and is skippable. Check out Ancient Agora instead

Miloš

You can see it without entering

Conocida como la "Biblioteca de las cien columnas", era un impresionante edificio rectangular creado para albergar la extensa colección de libros que poseía el emperador Adriano.

Vale muito a pena conhecer! O lugar é bem grande e ainda possui bastante coisa de pé

offensichtlich wollte man auch schon vor mehreren tausend Jahren mit einem Buch nicht unbedingt still in einer Ecke sitzen, sondern herumspazieren und anderen davon erzählen

Rubén Garcia Muro

No aporta mucho aunque imaginártelo es genial, todo lo que se ve de fuera, se ve por dentro, entramos porque estaba en la entrada conjunta.

20 Euro akropolis artı 10 Euro diğer tüm mekanlar. 10 Euro daha verin her yeri görün derim✊

С аудиогидом интересно. Без него все выглядит как несвязные развалины. Так что нужен либо живой гид, либо аудио.

Akropolis kombine biletiniz varsa girmeye değer tek başına bir cazibesi yok.

Gezilmesi gereken bir yer.
