Bagni Ducali, Renaissance palace in Ferrara, Italy.
The Bagni Ducali features three rustic arches at ground level and a loggia with three large windows on the main floor, flanked by symmetrical wings.
Construction of the palace began in 1541 under Duke Ercole II d'Este, with architects Girolamo da Carpi and Terzo Terzi leading the project.
The palace interior displays frescoes and decorations by Renaissance artists Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo and Camillo Filippi, reflecting the Este family's artistic preferences.
The municipal building now houses offices of the Ferrara City Council, including the Cultural Events and Tourism Service department.
The gardens once contained labyrinths, pergolas, aviaries, and statues, which inspired scenes in Ludovico Ariosto's literary masterpiece 'Orlando Furioso'.
