The Mafra National Palace Library in Portugal is worth visiting just for its magnificent beauty. With its luxurious marble floors and walls lined with Rococo-style wooden bookshelves, the library is definitely a highlight of the royal palace. The library is also known for its bats that dwell behind bookshelves, feeding on insects in the library at night, otherwise possibly eating manuscript pages.
