Portomaggiore, Administrative center in Province of Ferrara, Italy.

The town stands at an elevation of 2 meters between Ferrara and Comacchio, covering 126 square kilometers of agricultural land near ancient waterways.

The Battle of Portomaggiore in 1395 marked a turning point when mercenary troops from Ferrara Regency Council defeated rebels, securing Niccolò III d'Este's authority.

The Delizia Estense del Verginese displays Renaissance architecture with four crenellated towers, whitewashed brick walls, and an 18th-century portico connecting to a chapel.

The Archaeological Museum presents the Sepolcreto dei Fadieni collection, containing over 200 Roman artifacts from the first and second centuries AD.

The Oasi di Porto provides 11 hectares of nature reserve, including 7 hectares of water areas designated for birdwatching and sport fishing activities.
