Urbanistica di Ferrara

The city structure of Ferrara exhibits wide streets, geometric layouts, and organized public squares that form an integrated urban system spanning 9 square kilometers.

During the 15th century, the Este family transformed Ferrara into a center of urban innovation by implementing systematic land drainage and constructing noble residences.

The urban layout of Ferrara incorporates perspective axes and harmonious arrangements that reflect Renaissance principles of city organization and social hierarchy.

Visitors can explore the urban development through designated walking paths that connect major architectural landmarks such as the Estense Castle and Palazzo dei Diamanti.

The Addizione Erculea district represents the first European example of urban planning based on mathematical and geometric proportions in residential street design.
