Built by order of Niccolò d'Este in 1435, it was the first of the famous Este residences to be built from the walls of Ferrara and always remained the richest and most sumptuous. The Este lords wanted to create a series of sumptuous residences that were later called "Delights", the most sumptuous of all was Belriguardo which also served as a summer palace. Dozens of halls frescoed by the greatest artists of the various eras and incredibly huge gardens characterized this oasis of beauty. The Sala della Vigna is the precious and only element that survived the devastating fury that pervaded all those who used Belriguardo for four centuries, since the Este family, in 1598, was forced to abandon the Ferrarese fiefdom to return it to the Pope, retiring to Modena and Reggio, fiefdoms that the Este lords had instead obtained from the Emperor. The large rooms of the palace were transformed into stables and granaries and the elegant columns of the loggias became monumental and square pillars for rustic shelters. Belriguardo has survived to this day despite progressive collapses, adaptations, demolitions and its division into numerous private homes. The remains of the ancient delight still visible today are the tower in the center, from which the Este family observed the shows in the fish pond below fed by water from the Sandalo river, the six Gothic windows from the end of the fifteenth century and the Sala della Vigna, the only room that has returned some evidence of its ancient splendor. The building is home to the Belriguardo Civic Museum which exhibits archaeological finds from the area and also dedicates sections to Renaissance and modern art. Opening hours (to be checked before planning the visit) From Thursday to Sunday from 9.30 to 12.00 and from 15.30 to 19.00. Closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Vineyard Hall can be visited during the opening hours of the Archaeological Museum.

for its beauty

The Civic Museum of Argenta is housed inside the church of San Domenico. The building is a fine example of fifteenth-century architecture with exposed bricks inspired by Rossetti's models and still retains the beautiful bell tower with spire in polychrome terracotta tiles. The church was owned by the Confraternity of the Battuti Bianchi who in 1495 donated it to the Dominican friars who had just settled in the city. The interior of the building has a single nave, flanked by six raised niches on each side, which in ancient times were each equipped with an altar, frescoes and stucco decorations which unfortunately have been lost due to the state of abandonment in which the building has been found several times throughout its history in addition to the damage caused by the Second World War. In 1973 the Municipality of Argenta stipulated an agreement with the Archbishop's Curia of Ravenna to be able to use the structure for public use, with the aim of collecting all those pictorial works that were saved from the bombing of April 1945 and making them accessible to the public. ...

This pastry shop has changed its name and management, now it is called La Ciliegina sulla Torta https://www.komoot.com/it-it/highlight/6406678

Excellent pastry shop with a very well-stocked counter from the opening at 6:30 in the morning. For us ARIETI Ferrara and #quellidelle530, it is a perfect refreshment point, for a mid-tour breakfast or a good reason to take a detour.

A magical place…
