Built in about 130 CE, it was initially destroyed in 267 CE when a Germanic tribe conquered and sacked Athens. The interiors of the library buildings were largely wood and contained thousands of papyrus scrolls. The fires destroying the city completely consumed the library and it was never rebuilt.<br /> In the 5th century CE, the Romans usesd the space for civic functions and a Christian church was built in the center of the grounds. The church was replaced with a basilica in the 7th century which burned down in the 11th century. During the Ottoman years, the grounds were used for administrative purposes and hosted a busy bazaar. Finally, in 1884 another fire consumed the site burning the bazaar and everything else. Beginning in 1885, archeologists were able to investigate and recover the ruins of the library as the site had been cleared. This photo shows part of what the archealogy teams found.
