The Abbey Library St. Gallen, famous for its beautiful baroque hall, is one of the oldest libraries in the world. And it holds one of the most important manuscript collections in Europe, especially for the Carolingian and Ottonian period from the 8th to the 11th century. The collection is presented to the visitors in changing and thematised expositions. The library forms the central part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Convent of St. Gallen.

The library is precious and one has to wear slippers they provide as the floor is being preserved with its lovely inlaid wood. The paintings and the books are breathtaking.

The entire square is recovered with a red coating which gives a modern twist to this part of St.Gallen at the edge of the old town. As it was Valentine weekend, Globus chose to match the Porsche with this beautiful red heart.
