The City Walls

The city's history begins here

Before entering Ferrara,  you should visit the city walls, the history of Ferrara begins here.

Nine kilometres of city walls that enclose Ferrara’s old city centre and its precious monuments, which can be enjoyed by walking or cycling. 

The city walls keep doors, passages and towers that testify the various defensive techniques that came in succession in old times. Now surrounded by vegetation, they are a big garden, a place to relax, sport and interractions.
