Castrum bizantino di Ferrara, Medieval fortress in Ferrara, Italy
The Castrum bizantino di Ferrara stands on the left bank of Po di Volano river, featuring defensive walls and a surrounding moat.
The Byzantine fortress, constructed in the 6th century, protected a vital ferry connection between Po river islands and northern territories.
The Casa del Capitano, dating from the 12th century, represents the military and administrative center of the original settlement.
The area around the ancient castle contains narrow streets forming a horseshoe pattern, with Via Porta San Pietro at its center.
The fortress location influenced the Episcopal seat transfer from Voghenza, establishing the foundation for modern Ferrara's urban development.
