Sala Estense, Historical theatre in central Ferrara, Italy
The Sala Estense theatre features a stage, stalls, and gallery decorated with late Liberty style elements near the Municipal Honor Staircase.
Built in 1476 by Ercole I d'Este as a court chapel named Chiesa Nuova, the structure initially served to display the remains of Este family members.
The theatre holds regular cinema screenings, music performances, theatrical productions, and local dialect plays by the Straferrara Company throughout the year.
Located at Piazza Municipale 4, the theatre contains 288 seats distributed between the main floor and gallery sections for various performances.
Two statues of Ferrara's patron saints, San Giorgio and San Maurelio, created by Francesco Vidoni in 1835, stand beside the historic portal.
