Itinerary

Via delle Volte

Via delle Volte is definitely one of the most characteristic streets in the city! The beating heart of the medieval city, this straight street developed along the route of the old embankment of the Po’, the longest river in Italy, which was diverted in 1152.
Ghetto Ebraico

Before arriving at the main square of the city we make a small detour to see the Jewish ghetto.

The presence of a Jewish community in Ferrara has been documented continuously since the 13th century, long before the creation of the ghetto. Let's talk about it!
Piazza Trento e Trieste

10 min

Here we are in the most important square in the City! Already in medieval times it was the centerpiece of Ferrara even though at the time it was known as Piazza del Mercato delle Erbe, the place where precisely the market took place.
Ferrara Cathedral

The most important church of the city! Over the centuries, the cathedral underwent numerous restorations and alterations, especially in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, which enriched its eclectic appearance. Let's talk about it!
