Castello Estense (Este Castle)
Largo Castello
Ferrara, May 2022
“The Castello Estense (Este castle) or castello di San Michele (St. Michael's castle) is a moated medieval castle in the center of Ferrara, northern Italy. It consists of a large block with four corner towers. On the outside, the castle essentially presents the appearance given to it by Girolamo da Carpi in the second half of the 16th century. Surrounded by a moat, it has three entrances with drawbridges fronted by brickwork ravelins. The fourth entrance, to the east, was removed to make room for the kitchens.” (Castello Estense, Wikipedia)
