Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna

Ferrara, is another beautiful city surrounded by a medieval brick wall.


There are lots of pedestrian-only walkways in Ferarra. On a Sunday morning, this piazza is a busy marketplace. In the city center is the huge 14th century Castello Estense, which is completely surrounded by water.

The castle is extremely well preserved. Inside, I was lucky enough to catch a costumed reproduction of... I'm not sure what... but the loud drums and the flying flags were entertaining.

The architecture is so cool. The old stuff looks much better than the new. The flag pictures remind me of bull fighting. :) ... maybe another parade? :)
