Attractions and Places To See around Tresigallo - Top 20

Built at the behest of Niccolò d'Este in 1435, it was the first of the famous Este residences to be built outside the walls of Ferrara and always remained the richest and most sumptuous. ... The castle of Belriguardo was arranged around two courtyards. In front of the majestic entrance tower, beyond the first large courtyard, was the so-called high court, the prince's residence, entirely built on two floors (today we unfortunately only see it at half its original height) with loggias and porticoes everywhere, the walls were plastered and painted with the Este weapons and at the back there were endless gardens marked by perfect geometric rhythms with waterways, fountains, bridges, exotic plants and hedge mazes, to make the stay of the guests and the Court as pleasant as possible Este.

Originally a country farmhouse, the Verginese was transformed into a ducal residence in the early sixteenth century by Alfonso I d'Este and donated to Laura Eustochia Dianti. Upon the Duke's death, the lady retired there, making it her small private court and ordered its renovation, carried out mainly by Girolamo da Carpi. ... To the side there is a small eighteenth-century church, joined to the building via a portico, also from the same period. ... The nearby dovecote tower is a remnant of the appurtenances originally located around the delight and dates back to the 16th century.

On the official website of Tresigallo there is a map with all the points of interest and historical explanation of the places

Beautiful villa. The best side is the one on the side of the Po di Volano - which already deserves in itself. If you arrive from the provincial road, you will notice a small road on the side of the Po. Take that and maybe take a ride in the park along the river

one of the many very beautiful structures in the area, it would be nice to re-evaluate them for tourism

Palaces of a thousand colors, turrets, marble arcades, cylinders, cones, parallelepipeds, arches that are lost on the horizon: walking in these places is a unique and fascinating experience. A dimension suspended between geometry and dreams. The journey back in time to discover rationalist architecture. INFO https://www.tresigallolacittametafisica.it

The Oasis of the Vallette of Ostellato is what remains of the ancient valleys that surrounded the town, spared from the last reclamation of the Mezzano valley and today an oasis of wildlife protection. They consist of 4 valley loops which constitute a biotope of a wetland of fresh water. In the Vallette there are 150 species of aquatic birds, nesting. You can see all kinds of herons, the great white, the gray and the red, numerous waders, including the Black-winged stilt, birds of prey, such as the marsh harrier, the buzzard. The vegetation is typical of freshwater wetlands, characterized in the permanently flooded areas by reeds, white and yellow water lilies, flowering rush. On the banks there are white willow, water chestnut and elderberry. The Oasis is well equipped for various activities such as bird watching, walking, cycling and horseback riding, sport fishing. At the entrance there is also an astronomical observatory. N.B. I would add a negative note: the final part of the Oasis is closed and not usable for about 6 km of path and there is an access price to the Oasis for both walking and cycling of € 2 per person. Apart from the cost of the ticket which would certainly be worth the price for the beauty of the area, it is not acceptable to find rotten and decaying unused wooden bridges and piers with closed routes due to general neglect.

History The Villa della Mensa is an ancient villa of the fifteenth century counted among the "delizie", residences linked to the Este family built in the surroundings of Ferrara. It is located in the municipality of Copparo, near the hamlet of Sabbioncello San Vittore. The Villa bears this name because in the past it was owned by the Archbishop's Mensa of Ferrara. The villa was never part of the Este family's assets, but is linked to the lords of Ferrara for the illustrious people who frequented it and for those who used it as a residence, especially the Bishops of the Este dynasty. The rumor has been circulating for several years that ambiguous events occur in the villa, both inside and outside, in fact in the past some people have abandoned it for having had the perception of "unwanted presences". The visit is only possible on the occasion of some events.
