Situated in Bologna, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, Salaborsa serves as the primary public library. In 2001, the library’s central offices were relocated to the northern sections of Palazzo d’Accursio, which is positioned adjacent to Piazza del Nettuno, a short distance north of Piazza Maggiore. A unique feature of the library is the opportunity for visitors to glimpse an archaeological site through the transparent floor at its centre. These ancient ruins can also be explored from the basement level, where informative displays provide further details about them.
