Ferrara area
"Via delle Volte", the street of the apartment, means "street of arches" and the reason for this name is easily understandable. The apartment is located in a building on a nice arch and the balcony looks down the length of the street. It is one of the attractions of the medieval tour of the city: all buildings there date from 1200 ó 1300. The typical raised buildings on the arches were built to connect the commercial activities on the river bank (Po Grande) with the residences lying behind. The medieval tour continues to the Castello Estense, begun in 1385 to a design by Bartolino da Novara, consisting of brick buildings, surrounded by a moat, with solid towers at the corners. The Cattedrale, begun in 1135 and continued for three and a half centuries, offers a beautiful facade, a blending of various styles, above all Romanesque and Gothic. Palazzo dei Diamanti, so-called because its exterior is covered with twelve thousand small diamond-shaped pieces of marble. The Palazzo Schifanoia or Scandiana was designed by Biagio Rossetti; in the Hall of the Months there is one of the most interesting secular series of frescoes from the Renaissance period. In the Hall of the Enterprises the Michelangelo's sketch of Moses (1475-1564) can be seen.

Further details outdoors: A tiny balcony is above over a fourteenth century arch and probably represents the most romantic view of the city centre, and for this reason it’s maybe the most photographed one!
