The Estense city Ferrara with its 1391 established University is world wide well known for its Renaissance masters whose art is still to be admired at the local Pinacoteca Nazionale, Palazzo Schifanoia, Museo della Cattedrale, as well as in many other important Case and Palazzi - Romei, Costabili, Diamanti, Marfisa. The Castello Estense surronded by a water moat, the impressive old city walls, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Spina, the Cattedrale, churches and convents dating back to the 11th—16th c. lost in the silent city centre around the 18th c. Teatro Comunale, and the historic Jewish ghetto invite for a visit. The same old lanes enclose workshops of different high quality fine goods and items — prêt-à-porter, pottery, string instruments, laces, leather goods, home textiles — sold world wide to a demanding public. Events such as the Buskers Festival, the Balloons Festival, and the Palio offer a even more unique frame to a stay in the city.
