Estimated journey times
The moated Castello Estense was the residence of the Este dukes and remains at the centre of Ferrara’s historic plan. North along Corso Ercole I d’Este, the faceted Palazzo dei Diamanti, designed by Biagio Rossetti from 1493, anchors the Renaissance Addizione Erculea expansion.
Ferrara’s brick city walls form a broad green circuit around the centre. Inside, Palazzo Schifanoia is known for the Salone dei Mesi, whose 15th-century fresco cycle links courtly imagery with the calendar. These places show how planning, power and art shaped the city together.
