Il legame tra la musica e Manchester non si è mai spezzato. Uno dei luoghi più famosi di questa città è la School of Music che porta i bambini dotati musicalmente a sviluppare la loro abilità. Gli edifici sembrano davvero medievali ed è impressionante il contrasto con le costruzioni modernec tutto intorno. Al suo interno si trova la biblioteca di Chetham che, affondando le sue radici nel 1400, è la più antica biblioteca pubblica del Regno Unito e probabilmente del mondo occidentale. La biblioteca è molto piccola, ma ammetto che in cima alle scale, quando questo paradiso di libri si è aperto davanti a me, mi sono fermata e sono rimasta a bocca spalancata. Solo un bibliofilo capirà il perché

The library is one of the oldest in existence. Not just the UK, but the world. It oozes history. The architecture is beautiful and stunning. Karl Marx has a corner etched out where he spent many months considering his manofesto. Manchester has a rich part in history and you'll find some of it here. If you get the chance to visit then take it!

This place is truly magical! Our guide was lovely, helpful, and knowledgeable. She made our tour great. There is no fee but the entrance is allowed only every hour (1.30pm, 2.30pm, etc.). Highly recommended!

Got every book ever published, even got a nice cafe with a look over the square.
