Uppsala University Library, Research library at Uppsala University, Sweden
Carolina Rediviva, built between 1820 and 1841, stands as the central building of Uppsala University Library with a neoclassical architectural design.
King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden established the library in 1620, initiating the collection with his personal donation of manuscripts and books.
The library preserves the Codex Argenteus, a 6th-century manuscript containing Gothic translations of the four Gospels, along with numerous medieval documents.
The library provides study spaces across multiple floors, computer access, automated borrowing systems, and a café area that remains open for studying.
The collection includes the Carta Marina from 1539, representing the first accurate cartographic documentation of Nordic countries through detailed illustrations.
