Ferrara Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in central Ferrara, Italy.
The cathedral features a three-cusped marble facade combining Romanesque elements in its lower section with Gothic architecture in its upper portion.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1135 through funding from Guglielmo I Adelardi, and its main altar received consecration on May 8, 1177.
The white and pink marble bell tower, designed by Leon Battista Alberti in 1451, stands as an incomplete masterpiece of Renaissance architecture.
The cathedral serves as the main church of the Ferrara-Comacchio archdiocese, with regular services held throughout the week and extensive restoration work in progress.
The cathedral houses the tomb of Pope Urban III and contains the Portal of Months, displaying medieval stone carvings representing the months of the year.
