The Cathedral

Piazza della Cattedrale | Ferrara

The Cathedral, one of the icon monuments of the city, has on its outside and inside time marks of all the eras that marked the city of art.

A lovely summary of different styles, from the façade both in romanic, in the lower part, and gothic style, in the upper part, to the various inside areas, now in classic style. Among the most significant artworks  Guercino's "Saint Lawrence's Martyrdom" and Bastianino's "Universal Judgement".

The Cathedral, dedicated to Saint George and the Virgin Mary, master Nicholaus' work, had its apsis' project by Biagio Rossetti, while the majestic bell tower, Leon Battista Alberti's project, unfortunately is unfinished.
