Ferrara

Ferrara receives even fewer tourists than Ravenna, yet it is a beautiful medieval and renaissance city with a fabulous moated castle and stunning Renaissance town hall and cathedral. The oldest part of the city is virtually untouched since the 14th century, while the 'newer' Renaissance' districts contain numerous superb palazzos. The most famous is the 'diamente palazzo' or Diamond Palace decorated with over 8000 'diamonds'. You are likely to be the only foreign tourists here.
