The uniqueness and originality of the urban appearance was given by the family of the dukes d'Este, who ruled in Ferrara since the 13th century. This kind of aristocrats strove for luxury and erected magnificent buildings of the Renaissance. All palaces are perfectly preserved to this day and are the main attractions of the city.Since the Middle Ages, the city wall, almost 9 km long, has also been preserved. It surrounds the historic center of Ferrara, like a deep moat. Once a powerful defensive fortress, it has now become a national and cultural heritage of mankind under the auspices of UNESCO.
The defensive role of the fortress was transformed into a presentable one. The magnificent ducal palace is decorated with terraces and marble balconies. Towers with emblems of the power of the d'Este family adorn the four corners of the palace wall. The renaissance courtyard is frescoed, and the luxurious apartments are open to tourists and art exhibitions. There is also a small branch of the Russian Hermitage here.

In the southern part of the city there is another medieval part of it, but it looks completely different. There are no magnificent Renaissance palaces here. Old houses and winding narrow streets are a memory of the life of ordinary citizens of that time.Modern Ferrara also differs from most Italian cities in a more measured pace of life. A significant part of this administrative center is reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists.
Ferrara is the embodiment of the Italian province, keeping the memory of the former luxury of a noble family of rulers. To feel the atmosphere of this amazing city, just walk along the long and narrow Via delle Volte. It is paved with cobblestones in the old fashioned way, and covered with arched tunnels from above.
